I have 1337 ebay-fu.
Parts I already have include:
Shimano 105 triple crankset ($25, may need new middle chainring at some point)
Shimano Tiagra FD (free extra part with Craigslist bike)
Cane Creek headset (came with eBay Kinesis CF fork that only cost me $35 shipped!)
Nashbar CF fork for disc brake($125 with locking plug thingy - I figured it was worth the extra $65 over the steel version)
Avid BB7 disc brake ($50)
Nashbar brake levers ($15)
Old-school aluminum handlebars (free from neighbor)
Continental Gatorskin 23mm tires (which I may or may not be able to use)
