It's about exploitation and value for money though. How arrogant is it of him to think that people will pay a grand for these bikes when they can buy all the bits and do it themselves for less and to their correct spec. If he did this 3 years ago I could understand but he's totally missed the boat, there's hundreds of people doing a better job than he is and all the once hard to find components are ten a penny on numerous, easy to find websites.
Again, I am only assuming but I can guess that he is buying the parts at retail value, not cost/wholesale therefore making these bikes way too expensive to sell to any half knowledgable, potential customer
