Help Me Build This Origin-8 Foxtrot
I am looking for suggestions for building this out. I got a steal of a deal on the frame. Its by origin-8 called the FoxTrot. Its a cyclecross frame but its very close to the geometry of my road bike so I may use it for that more than cyclecross. It has a full carbon rear and full carbon front fork. The front triangle is the only alumnium. I got the frame with fork, stem, and headset for $250 (new). Thats why I could not pass it up.

The below is what I was thinking....
Ultegra SL 6650 Crank (Compact) or Rival OCT 2009 Compact or ???
SRAM Rival 2009 Shifters or ???
SRAM Rival Front and Rear Dderailleur or ???
Avid Shorty 6 Brakes or ???
FSA SLK Seat Post or ???
FSA Energy Bar or ???
Pedals Speed Play Zeros (unless I use it for cross of course)
Fizik Airone Saddle (already have)
Wheelset I already have....
Open to all thoughts an dsuggestions.... I was hoping to do it all for less than 1K so I know I am limted bt I think the above would be a pretty good ride.

I often reach for my cylocross bike instead of my road bike. It performs just fine. Nice deal on the frame.

Nice looking frame. If it had disc mounts I'd probably look into one for myself.

Yeah I know its not a road frame but I currently ride an 06 alloy syapse and the geometry is almost the same as this. So what suggestions**********
