Then it won't be oldschool?

You can get away with Diamond Back BB's and Headsets on a cheap build...but the other stuff is just wrong IMO.

I Guess Your Right Stodgy, But I Mean If You Just Want It To Ride Round On Then Cheap NS Stuff Is An Option As You Dont Wanna Put Sugino Piece Crank That Could Cost You Over £65 From Biaggio!, When You Can Buy One For Under A Tenner! IMO.

 Diamondback stuff is cheap for a reason,ie poor quality.Most of their stuff in the UK has been floating around unsold since 2000......Some cheap/unbranded stuff is better made than DB.Sorry to be so neg,and I wish you good luck on your build,but it`ll be better if you keep your eyes peeled for some bargains.Not all decent OS stuff is expensive!

The Reflex in my signature was built for around £100-120 all in, including the £38 brakeset (most expensive part).  

I have this Cougar 300 seat and intergrated seat post you can have for £10 posted.  Its genuine old school and only lightly used so still in excellent condition.  Saves buying a seperate seat and post so will save a few quid off the build.  Will match the red of the Refelx decals too.

pm me if intersted.
