I have thanks, had to keep the receipts for insurance valuation, it came to a few quid over £700 (inclusive of everything, headset spacers etc etc etc.) It took <1 hour to find the lowest prices on everything using google shopping searches. I'm not saying that everyone can build a bike for cheap, just that I disagree with promoting the idea that buying your own parts is always more expensive.
