Hi johnp3004
I also live in Norway (Ålesund), and have also had difficulty getting parts (+tools) for my build. I am not really doing a budget build as such (although it started that way) so I'm not sure how useful this will be to you, but here is were I bought my parts from.

Cheap with free delivery to Norway

Based in the US but with resonable delivery charges

I also bought a far bit off Ebay. The main problems for me were frame and wheels. It looks like you already have a suitable frame (nice BTW) and if your rims are in OK shape you could just get the back wheel rebuilt with a suitable hub (there are other ways of fixing the back wheel but they are a bit beyond me).
Good luck!
PS I'm hopping to be finished in time for the 2009 nibberittet (havent decided on my gear ratio yet though).
