Trying to build a 2000s-era aero bike using a frame I picked up on eBay as well as all the parts. I understand the tri bike geometry may be problematic with drop bars, but this has strangely been my preference since I bought my first 'road' (really a tri) bike. Am I doing this right? Anything I should change to make it more cost effective? My build so far is totaling around $1200 USD. Budget is $1500. I plan to buy an aluminum Kinesis fork, or a carbon fiber easton. Assumed weights in the last pic. Goal is to build a light and relatively affordable bike with used components. Open to any and all advice and criticism, I'm really just trying to learn. For reference I am 6 foot 3 (190.5cm) 110kg. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

This is gonna be a pretty sick bike. Dura Ace 7800 was one of the best looking group sets.
I would’ve went clinchers just for ease, but those Reynolds wheels look rad
