When all was said and done, I built up my De Bernardi for about a grand. It was my spring/summer project.

De Ber frame 400
Miche group 300 (cranks, chainring, bb, headset, seat post, chain, cog, hubs, pedals)
Open Pro rims 120 (pr)
spokes 32
Nitto stem 35
Conti 2000s 40
17t Miche cog 25
clip n flips free
old spds free
old Selle free

That got me on the road, and happy. Waaay better ride than my Shogun fixie. Bikes are never "done" though, and since then I have switched the spds out for Crank Bros. Candys. At some point I will write a review of the Miche group 'cause I have mixed feelings about it.
