not really a lo pro, and whilst everyone may not want "custom build retro shit" what annoys me about this is the way BLB market this - clearly they want you to to buy into the faux "custom build retro shit" lifestyle - Exhibit A: http://bricklanebikes.co.uk/HM-for-BLB.html
as to pricing, yes i suppose if you sold the spok/rear wheel you might get £250-275 odd towards another wheelset, but that rather defeats the point in buying this. And if you're just after a 4130 frame as a starting point there are good options out there. The cold reality is that selling new stuff in these classifieds always takes a massive hit, mainly because there are a lot of nice used options that make this look overpriced.
However, for someone after this look, I would agree it is not bad value per se at the price the OP wants. Just he may struggle here.
