Building a Bike using eBay

I finally joined the rest of the world and learned to shop and sell on eBay. In the past week, I have won auctions for:

park crown race setter
selle italia srl gel flow saddle
xrp carbon handlebar
velo vie vitesse 300 road frame
cannondale caad9 road frame (stupid purchase, but a great price)
carbon seat post

So I am on my way to building a new bike for the trip to France. I am currently bidding on a carbon triple crank, as I hear the climbs will be epic. I am going to need a granny gear. I have an old frame that I will strip for the rest of the needed parts. That frame was bought from Performance as a quick replacement after an unfortunate bike on rack/garage door frame accident!!

I have also sold a few items:

tacx vr trainer
sierra designs baku tent
orvis fly reel

Those three items netted over a thousand, and those fund are being used for the new bike build.
