Ebay Special
So I'm trying to build a super high end race bike for under 2500 bucks. Right now, I'm at just over 2000 with zipp 808's, the frame/fork, and an Ultegra SL group set. With the remaining 500 bucks, I need to buy a seat, post, stem, handlebars, and Tubular tires. Its going to be tight, but I think I'll make it.
Here are the pics so far.
Cannondale SI Carbon BB30 crank with Ultegra SL rings
808's baby.

The frame and wheels are used, but everything else is new.
For pedals, I picked up a pair of Keo Sprints from PBK for about 80 bucks a few months ago when they were having a sale.
-Fatboy, The frame is a 2007 System six Team Edition (Barlow world)

For a seat post, I suggest the zero- setback carbon post from bike nashbar.
You can't go wrong with it.. I have the same one on all three of my bikes. =)

I do think it's better to get an aluminum stem as opposed to carbon. If the threads pull out of the stem, you are screwed in a big way and point loads are what carbon is least suited to. Aluminum is much less fussy and the weight is the same. Because a stem is so important, I don't buy them used. FWIW, Nuevation has a good variety of stems at very low prices. They aren't even too logo'd out.

hmm, I might end up using that. On my current race rig, I have a thomson masterpiece in a 27.2. Anyone ever use one of these. Do they creak at all?

i used a thomson elite (silver) with a shim in a carbon frame, and it worked like a charm - looked ghetto, but if you use a black one, nobody will notice.
