Put it in the LOOT.

What am I missing? Where does £750 come from

Calculator Fail...

If you add it up using your prices, it actually comes to £720 :p

And then

• £50 Hipster tax (doesn't exist)
  
• £32 Sapim double butted spokes
  
• £30 extra on rims (anodised dp18's are £45 each in 14)
  
• £15 extra on chainset (£105 from 14)
  
• £10 extra on the pedals/straps (£20 each from 14)
  
• £5 extra on the chain
  
  

Cost price is now £762
And you're forgetting bb, headset, seatpost an powdercoating, which would easily add £100...

If you don't like it, fair enough, but you should probably get facts straight before slagging people

That bike is butter's.

excellent skully, excellent. bravo!

sano, please try again...

Cantab, did you forget the frame?

Please try again

haha my bad sorry dude!

Sano - Is that for the bike or the tractor pic'd above? I'm interested in the tractor.

14 is also overpriced.

@Dov – I no sell da Favorits, I just adds up the prices...

And on that note...

have yellow dust caps!

Ah! A sure sign of Conti inner tubes. Add another £10 to what it cost to build.

nope.

14 is also overpriced.

That's as maybe, but hardly the point. Even if you bought the parts at your prices (excluding the rims, I haven't seen anodised deep v/dp18's for £30 each and assuming you want some spokes) it still adds up to over £750.

Fair enough people don't like it. Personally think it's the '£750, no offers' which has got people's backs up.

£31k to you sir, and you'd need to pick it up from Germany:

If you can stretch to £58k the 930 is much more like it, nearly twice the horsepower and looks much cooler:

Please note these price are fixed.

£2.50 each from Parker's = £5 a bike.

Why would anyone sell their favorite bike?

To buy another I guess.

I get it. Trying to sell that on here for £750 is obviously going to result in the above abuse. But he's clearly a new user who doesn't know that. It is expensive to build a new bike, even from mediorcre components. Sano's right, the price is fairly accurate.
What butters failed to realise is that everything sold on the forum is done so at a largely reduced price. That's just the way it is. Purely bargain based shoppers up in this muthafucker!
So butters, if you want that sort of cash - which in my opinion you are entitled to - you need to ebay the fucker!

£2.50 each from Parker's = £5 a bike.

At the risk of this all getting pedantic and silly, those prices are for mountain bike tubes. And you have to add delivery. Unless you want to buy £50 worth of mountain bike tubes, in which case delivery is free. Of course, you've then got 20 tubes that you can't use in your 700c wheels.

: p

@Giz - You obviously forgot the following

Sapim x-ray spokes - £90
DT prolock nipples - £20
Grease for installing parts from the vaginas of virgins - £60
Time spent building - 2 hours at £20 per/hour - £40
Interest not generated on money spent on investment - £6.23

Add 10% to all prices as the bits were bought at Brick Lane Blaggercycles

Seems a fair price to me. I offer the full amount*

*paid in kind of course

You paying with grease from your vagina then?
