Ben, please don't take this the wrong way, but you're making a couple of mistakes that others have made before you. You're never going to get the sort of prices on here that you might get in other marketplaces, but that cuts both ways--the same low prices and friendly trading environment can wait for you when you're the buyer. Many people basically use this forum as a refuge from eBay etc. and for the chance to trade with other enthusiasts, and fair prices are a key part of that.
I can imagine that you're still annoyed people didn't like your bike; well, that can happen, and many have been through that. You may not know that much about bits yet, but my advice would be to take it in good humour and keep reading. (I can't talk, as I ride a fairly stock OTP and certainly not a 'build', and I still don't know much about bits, but for those thus inclined there are few places where you can learn more.)
Some of those who have commented, hostile though it may seem, were actually trying to help you understand what's acceptable around here. Needless to say, if that's not your thing, you may not enjoy being on here, but others have come back from a rocky start, too, and 'got' it. The forum can be a lot of fun and I'd say it's definitely worth persevering.
Good luck.

thanks for this dude...one of the first decent people i have come across on here. getting calls to be banned after how some other people has spoken to me is ironic and hilarious.
think ill stick to the real world people have to says things to your face rather than being extremely hard and brave when able to be anonymous. best of luck with any future builds, luckily for my ego everyone slagging off my bike is either riding something standard or not brave enough to put their own efforts up.
take care dude,
