This is my travelbike, commuting bike and grocery bike. I bought the frame and fork for 50 dollar, the chris king set for 60 dollar. Because of the non index tubeshifters i can mount anything on this bike. And so I do! There's currently some ten speed stuff on it with an eleven speed chain. The ultegra crank is from a friend's crash. The campa veloce front brake too. The frame is incredibly strong, hard and stiff. Even fully packed on vacation it stays straight as an arrow. It doesn't flex...
