^ Similar with my Ti road biike from BD.com:
- Ultegra everything - crank, B/B, derailleurs, cassette, chain, brifters, & brakes
- Mavic Ksyerium Equipe wheel set
- Vittoria Rubino Pro tires (i freaking love these high mileage road tires and am currently rolling on my 3rd set of them)
- FSA headset
- Ritchey Comp bars, stem, saddle, and post
none of that is top of the line stuff, but it's all good, more up-market, componentry, and married to a Ti frame/carbon fork that rides like a dream all for $2,000. i still feel like i got a great deal, especially whenever i walk into an LBS and see aluminum ultegra road bikes going for far more than that (and they often won't even have the ultegra crank or brakes to boot).
my new BD.com aluminum CX bike has components more geared towards the middle of the market (and at the $900 price point, that's entirely appropriate), but it's all still decent "known-quantity" name brand stuff (SRAM apex, Alex rims, Avid disc brakes, FSA headset & crank).
