Well people, coming to a close is the purchasing phase of this build. I will hold off on discussing costs because I am sure I will need to do emergency runs to the bike shop for little bits and pieces I forgot (two things I already know I need is a rear skewer to hold the back wheel on and some frame adhesive to protect the paint work from rubbing cables etc...).
But basically, here is where I am at:
Progressive costs:
Actual: $3300.03Estimated: $3387.39
If RRP: $5577.54
Now to be fair, the "RRP" value is very conservative, I doubt anyone would pay this ESPECIALLY if this bike was sold as one complete unit. However, given the componentry, I would say brand new, it would be around the $4200 mark, so I think I did save money. So, for all you mountain bikers out there, I'd be interested to know your thoughts. Leave me a comment on what you think it would have been worth. Here is the build list:
And here is what a bike in bits looks like....
Keepin' it real,
Justin.
