I don't know what it looks like buddy, but I know you did the expensive route. If I remember well you were buying stuff from NJS Supermarket, that's your choice. Doesn't mean we would all do it, innit.
Oh yeah man of course, I know I could have found cheaper parts elsewhere and gone for some secondhand stuff but I really wanted that new car smell ;) I did go a little crazy ono some parts too, the monster chainring was a bit silly.
You could definitely build a super nice bike sub one grand but I don't think you could build a full NJS build now for that price. NJS stuff just has way to much hipster tax on it.
