My LHT is a nice bike and all, but I've reached the point now where I want a dedicated road bike.

Since I want to build it myself, and I live where I live, and don't want to buy anything used, Surly's Pacer frame+fork is the only reasonable choice for my budget. And they just came out with the new Silver Bullet paint which looks stunning! I love it!

So, Surly Pacer is the frame. I've compiled a list of parts which is based on both budget and availability (in Sweden, we don't have as much to choose from).

My main concern is the brake reach. The 105 brakes I've listed are 39-49 mm, while Surly recommend 47-57 or thereabouts. There is that overlap (47-49) which could save the situation, but I'd like to know for sure. Has anyone here built up a Pacer with 105 "short" reach brakes successfully?

In case you're wondering, "Biltema" is a local mega-cheap store with the occasional good stuff.

The stem is very expensive, but it was the only silvery stem available. It will probably be replaced by a much cheaper stem later in the process.

The weights are as reported in specifications. Could be both more or less in the end. I've guessed on a couple of occasions, such as the brake pads, but I don't think I'm that far off.

Misc is supposed to cover all unknown margins of error for weights.

The number in bold lettering below the "weight" column is the sum of all weights.

The total cost, as the list stands now, is between 1900 and 2100 US$.

So, what do you think? Any likely problems, major or minor?
