Just ordered a Felt Gridloc frame. Any suggestions for parts?
I need a bottom bracket, stem, seatpost, crankset, handlebars, and pedals.
Basically everything but a wheelset. Trying to keep it cheap too.

What are your needs/desires?

Hell yeah, drinking while riding!

Make sure you get some wheels that fit the wrench it comes with!

I am building up a Rush right now--- and have found that ebay aint what it used to be. It has been overrun by pro stores--- and anything used and usable is over-priced. I have found better bargains on regular net stores--- like speedgoat and treefort bike.

1. Build your own wheels.
2. Drivetrain-- You want it "cheap?" Try a road 130 bcd crankset--- and Speedgoat is cheaper than ebay with their free shipping. Or if you want it CHEAPO-- try some really low-end ebay gear. You can buy a new Sugino drivetrain and BB for just a bit over $100 delivered.
3. Again, you have a new frame... might as well not grunge it out with used stems and posts--- just scour the net. That is half the fun in building up a new bike.

You are smart to build up a frameset--- rather than buy a "cheap" built bike. My only question to you--- what sort of headset does the Felt have? The bottom of the line Cane Creek leave a bit to be desired.

i've got some of my best deals from ebay, you just have to be patient.

I can't afford to be too patient, as I have a window when I will be back in the US (and most bozos won't ship internationally these days).

I scored a killer deal on a S6 headset for this build--- like $40 delivered (for a 'rare' 1" model)-- and some DT Revolution spokes at less than $1 /spoke delivered.... and a great stem for almost nothing. Chains and pedals are still OK--- but I really struggled with the drive train and seat post this round. I have built three bikes previously from all ebay parts. But seriously--- look at the percentage of professional sellers these days. My guess is that if you do a search of track or fixed gear, AT LEAST 80% of parts will be sold by pros. I wish ebay had a search filter to remove sellers by number of feedbacks--- so you could choose sellers with fewer than 200, for example (amateurs). These same pros are not selling at any sort of real discount.

oh, I didn't know you were working with a limited time frame.

I've been piecing my new bike for around 4 months, maybe 5. just have to order spokes now though.

that axle nut tool attached to the water bottle braze-ons is such a great idea. if only it were more practical in a city situation without having to remove it every time in fear of my wheels getting stolen using my own tool that was attached to the same bike...

I would suggest going to Bikeisland.com and/or Ben's Cycle. They'll have everything you need. Bike Island is reasonably priced and offers free shipping. I've ordered two wheelsets, a frame, two cranksets, seatpost, etc...... and they ship quickly. Last thing I ordered was an Omnium crank that was 165 shipped with BB. Everyone else wants $200 or more.
Good Luck!

jensonusa.com is having a massive sale on cranks right now

can anyone identify what size bottom bracket i need to get?

68mm english threaded...unless you mean spindle length

check this out--- this seller set up a custom sale for my spoke order. Great price, too.

no pics. hmm...
