    Still only makes £520, generously price.

    What am I missing? Where does £750 come from

    Calculator Fail...

    If you add it up using your prices, it actually comes to £720 :p

    And then

    • £50 Hipster tax (doesn't exist)
    • £32 Sapim double butted spokes
    • £30 extra on rims (anodised dp18's are £45 each in 14)
    • £15 extra on chainset (£105 from 14)
    • £10 extra on the pedals/straps (£20 each from 14)
    • £5 extra on the chain

    Cost price is now £762
    And you're forgetting bb, headset, seatpost an powdercoating, which would easily add £100...

    If you don't like it, fair enough, but you should probably get facts straight before slagging people
