I decided to build a bike from the ground up. Had a semi-tight budget and ended up with a pretty decent build. Everything isn't exactly the way I want it but that's mostly just aesthetics.

State Bicycle silver frame 55cm
Fork/Headset:
State Bicycle standard matching fork/FSA Orbit MX headset
Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Sugino RD2 crankset/FSA bottom bracket
Pedals:
Mks GR-9 pedals/All City toe clips/Cadence double straps
Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:
Miche 16t rear cog/Sugino RD2 48t chainring/Standard SS chain
Derailleurs/Shifters:
N/A
Saddle/Seatpost:
Purefix Microfiber seat/Cinelli Vai seatpost
Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Velocity Deep V/Origin 8 hub/Michelin Dynamic Sport 700x23c
Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Velocity Deep V/Origin 8 hub/Michelin Dynamic Sport 700x23c
Accessories:
Cinelli Volee bar tape
More Info:
Bought the Miche rear cog along with adapter and lockring, not sure if lbs screwed it up but as soon as I got it out the shop, didn't even ride half a mile and the lockring popped off and stripped. The rear cog was also giving problems and my cranks arms kept skipping. LBS hooked it up with a standard lockring and cog.

You want to be careful mixing standard hub threading and italian threading. As far as I know, Miche cogs and lockrings are italian threaded (different dimensions), and so they won't fit well on the standard threading which Origin8 uses.
Otherwise, nice setup (black/silver/white) - especially the white cadence straps! I wouldn't even have been able to tell it was a State frame if i saw you riding.

Thanks man and yeah it was my first build, I probably should have done a little more research before buying my parts.
