I don't think its blb's job to give him sound financial advice or take him under their wing as when it comes down to it
Well, it kind of is. If he's as ill informed as he makes out, then the build must have been based on their advice, and there are some very ill advised selections there. If they aren't going to provide good advice in exchange for their high prices, why would anybody shop there rather than on the internet? Disregarding the question of whether the frame really is NOS, and whether it was represented as a track frame, and whether the frame and fork price was reasonable even if it is what it purports to be, there is still plenty in this saga to paint BLB in a very poor light.
