keep the frame (hopefully it fits you)
do not buy a chris king headset. get a cheap tange or something (you'll need a 1" threaded headset)
stem: cheap SR
handlebars: cheap generic road drops
cranks: sugino rd's
matching bottom bracket. you seriously do not need a stainless bottom bracket
pedals: mks gr9's, steel or plastic clips and single nylon straps
wheels: basically anything from here: http://shop.greatdealsonbikes.com/me...tegory_Code=TR
seatpost: one that's cheap and fits (you'll need to know the seatpost diameter of the frame)

OR just buy a kiloTT complete from bikesdirect.


seriously though, with all that money laying around just get a kilo tt or a motobecane.
i mean with no LBS around you might even have trouble assembling all that good stuff.
just get the kilo and start swapping when you feel like you need better stuff. i think it's a way better idea.
