>>1138362>The other major component differences (wheels, brakes, frame material) are worth more than the $405 differenceProving my point about the frame. Excellent job.
>The Supreme cost more, at the time, because it came with brakes that cost $360, at the time.Once again, you're really narrowing the margin on that frame that was your big argument 2 posts ago.
>My bike has better and more expensive brakes than your's. My whole bike is more expensive and better than yours>bike>not bikesThis is embarrassing... good for you. How big is your house? If you want to play that game, start posting photos. I have all sorts of stuff that's worth a hell of a lot more than your bike. Shit, man. You think I'd be posting a stupid project bike if I wanted to show how rich I was?
>You still need to add $750 or so for the wheelsThird time's the charm. The 7005 frame now costs more, apparently.
I paid $200 for Crossmax, thanks.
>Then you need to deduct some amount of money from the cost of the Supreme for the more expensive frame materialThat's all gone, man. There's nothing left to deduct once you add up all the components. That was my entire point. How you missed it, I'll never know.
>In the end you'll find that you wouldn't have saved all that much moneyAnon, you have no idea what I spent. I stated that I spent $1200 on the bike, and sold the fork for $380. Why are you pulling this shit out of your ass?
I'll break it down for you if you want:
+$1200 (Base Tanuki)
-$380 (sold Tora 302)
+$350 (Monarch from new parts)
+$450 (Revelation from new parts)
+$220 (XT Crank)
+$200 (Crossmax)
+$200 (derailleurs and shifters)
+$100 pedals
$2300 so far... not $3699
>b-but your brakes are cheapFine then. $2500 if I pay full price at the first place I find them like an idiot. Still nowhere near $3699.
>you've settled for some lower tier partsSuch as? Brakes? Crossmax wheels that have an MSRP $100 less than the Eastons?
