^^ I'm sorry I didn't mean to troll you by any means, I honestly thought you'd been ripped off or it was a joke. Everything from the XT groupset, forks, wheels, paint, rear shock, bonty finishing kit, ti bolts etc, you have been overharged for. I really did'nt know you were trying to sell it, I actually thought some bike shop had just taken advantage of you.
Bottom line is if you're happy with it great, but if you think you are going to sell it for anything close to 5k you will have trouble as I'm sure you've already found out, (ebay, road cc etc) And no, there is not one part I'd put on my bike if you split (perhaps the ti bolts but you were overcharged for them aswell).
If someone sold those wheels to you saying they were period correct or light you have well and truly been stiched up (let alone the 2k for repainted 2nd hand wheels),they are ridiculously heavy (and will fail if you merely point them DH), period correct for that frame would of been Spinergy, Spin, Spengle, or a set of handbuilt Ringle/CK's etc. The fork was the cheapest moto version (1\8th). The price for the paintjob is a joke. Please don't get me wrong 5k nowadays is not unreasonable for a bike but it certainly is for that dogs dinner of a Cannondale.
p.s.
No super V in the works, MTB wise just finishing off a Cannondale Chase prototype and a Merc Amp not really a HHSMTB but period correct and nos, have to find a Woodman headshok stem for the Chase and a Synchros gunmetal cattleprod stem and smaller XTR outer chainring for the Amp
