Thank you guys for all the feedback, it's been really helpful. And i'll be going along with some of your suggestions.
I do intend to use parts i already have and buy second hand as much as possible, the only obstacle to that is finding things quickly enough, been without a bike for far too long, i just want to be riding again as quickly as possible.
I'm leaning towards the SRAM S300 1.1 Chainset, gutted then that CRC don't have the 165mm ones until a month from now :s though i'm tempted to go for the 170mm ones. I assume since the bottom bracket will be higher on the leader frame, a pedal strike won't be an issue with 170mm crank arms?
I'm gona go with the vsprint built rear wheel, either dp13 rims or the peagasus 40mm rims, and the novatec hub. and use a r shimano rs20 front wheel i have lying around until i can afford a better front wheel.
Incidentaly, i was wondering whether the GXP bottom bracket that comes with SRAMS have sealed cartridge bearings? I'm assuming not..
Cheers.
