I agree, as long as it's not a criterium you should be ok. The picture above is of my budget racer, composed of a Trek 760 frame (still have the fork, don't worry). I still run the original Campagnolo victory crank and shifters (lol still run the original shift cables too), and the rest has been changed due to wear / tear or difficulty of use. It's not a kosher build, but it keeps me on the road. I just wish I could find a 56cm frame *sigh*.
