Eh, cheap is relative. I'm mostly just looking for something along the lines of "cheap as I can." Definitely for a road. Preferably 9 speed. I don't mind mix and matching (so thanks for those ideas, everyone!) and I don't mind if the components I get are used.

Just not looking on spending a fortune. The frame isn't super spectacular and I'm just building it up for fun and doing some customization, so I just want it to be rideable and pretty while not costing more than a nicer bicycle. That may be out of the question, of course--and I still have the original components--but I'm trying to clean it up nice(r).
