My Nashbar Framé arrived today.
So far what I've got on order:
105 9 speed triple brifters, fr and r derailleur from eBay
From probikekit:
Tiagra triple crank, BB, chain and 9 speed cassette
What I still need:
Fork, stem, handlebars, seatpost, seat, wheels and miscellaneous bits.
I haven't weight the frame yet, I'll do that when I get home.
