Not sure what I'm doing with brakes, but I'll probably look for a good used set of 105 or Ultegra in the classifieds or Ebay. Goal is to keep the complete build under $750. That way if road riding doesn't work out for me I should be able to sell the bike at a minimal loss. With any luck the bike will come out around 20-21lbs. If I love the sport, then I'll invest in a nicer set of wheels at a later time to ditch some rotating weight.

Contact me when you're looking for brakes, I have a brand new set of Ultegras sitting around..I may or may not use them for a build. I also have a Race Face Cadence/Colnago anatomic drop bars if you're interested (40 or 42cm wide, can't remember).
