Ive been obsessively searching these forums lately, as I am a newly converted fix gear rider after my roommate started riding his pista.
I already bought and have in my possession a 50 IRO Mark V frame, and am in the process of getting the rest of the parts. Here is what I am thinking so far...
1)

^^ are these cranks the same as the rd2 messenger suginos, since the rd2s are what I am looking for. and is this a good price for the cranks and chainring?
2)

^^ is this a good BB for me since I am a new rider but do wish to upgrade as little as possible. The price is real attractive and I was just wondering if it was a good "bang for the buck" BB
If not what should I select that is a good value from the ones nashbar has to offer that is similar or not too much more in price

3) I saw a great deal on a s-8 cranecreek headset from nashbar.com a while back, for 29.99 actually. They seem to not have it anymore, but should I wait for a deal like that to come back or is the s-6 @ 34.99 just a good of a deal, and worth to get now?
4) I am having a very hard time deciding on a wheelset. Any suggestions for a good one keeping in mind I would ideally like to spend 100-150$? Despite all my research I am clueless on this aspect.
Should I order it online or just get it built around my area for 20-30$ more than online would be?
Thanks for your advice guys, really would help!
