Thanks for the opinions. I appreciate the information. Almost makes me want to create a thread of What parts would you buy for a frame if you only had $350 to spend and build a SS bike. Lots of stuff goes into that, like I'm currently thinking I can score some decent used mavic wheels that will hold true for a long time. That should definitely save some coin and allow me to upgrade in another area. AHHHH, so many decisions to be made! Currently thinking about the shimano BB-UN55 for my bottom bracket. I might change my mind in a few minutes though.
