I think a lot of these prices aren't helped by a lot of the unhealthy "look at me!" vibe generated on FB :knuppel2:

I like the low, medium and high end equally. It would be a bit boring if money was no object, and you could offer or pay huge amounts for parts. It's the hunt for parts and working out your budget/waiting for a better priced part that makes up a massive part of the enjoyment for me. Was hovering over a lovely set of Bullseye cranks last night in the region of £400. Was very temped, but resisted as I don't have a frame/forks to put them on, and my two current builds have already cost a fair bit, (despite one being a so called budget build Burner). My OCD kicks in, so a budget build never actually is a budget build. Bought a complete for £170. Rims were £200 to get re-chromed. You get the idea :LolLolLolLol:

I wonder if he was so bold as to tell his wife? The wife keeps me real - for the things she sees of course, not the thins she doesn't!

£60 for a rear cable? Really? And that's UK money. $87 for it just is not realistic. I will take my rear off my brake set and put it on Ebay, and I bet it makes nowhere near that money :buck2:

The blue and black rear cables went for over £100!!!
