I bought the frame built up as a 10 speed with its original components for $100 on eBay + $35 shipping/packing. I hope to make some of that back by selling a few of the parts I took off. The wheels are also an eBay purchase ($185 delivered).
I just took the Grand Compe stem off and replaced it with a much shorter stem (I was feeling a little too stretched out). I also bought a narrower el-cheapo saddle that I find much more comfortable. I took off the new track bar and cut the Randonneuring bar that came with the frame into a set of bullhorns and put the brake on upside down. Looks cool. I will try to post some pictures of the modified bike on Tuesday when I get to work and have a high-speed connection.
