The build I had in my Ribble basket (before the credit card debacle) was Veloce shifters, FD, chain, Xenon RD, SRAM S500 crank & BB, Centaur brakes & cassette, Campy Vento wheels, Dead zero 100 stem, bars, seat post, and 2 continue GP4000s'es, and the whole deal was like $850 with shipping. Oh crap, a Columbus Tusk fork as well. Would have made a lovely rain bike. Now it's just another hollow pipe dream.
