Some parts came from past bikes, and got swapped on this one. But I’ll act as if I were to buy everything new again when I did.
Affinity frame, fork + headset - $500
Arrospok $300
Phil Wood to Open Pro, DT SS spokes + build - $320 ish
Miche Primato Advanced crankset - $220
Surly Cog - $25
TA chainring - $50
Wipperman Chain - $25
Random Sealed BB - $30?
Time ATAC Alium - $30
Kalin Seatpost - $20
Tomson Stem - $100
2x Hutchinson tires - $80
Syntace Stratos - $35
Cloth tape - $20
Seat Clamp - $10
Rolls Due Saddle - Free in a trade, otherwise $75
$1765. If you wanna count the Rolls it’s bumped up to $1840.
Although if you wanna get technical, this frame has seen a few different tires, a bunch of tubes, and a couple cogs. Counting those would bring it up to probably $2100.
In the last two years, I’ve probably spent somewhere around $4000 on bike related stuff, not including clothing.
I suspect some of you guys are lying about some of these deals…

fuji obey frameset $300
tange levin headset $25
nitto dynamic $30

I know the fuji obey gets a lot of shit, but it rides nice, is lugged, and is light. can’t complain after picking it up new for $300.

I don’t really see what the big deal about a frame being made in Taiwan in these days. At this point, Taiwan has been making frames for 20+ years, and some of the builders have a lifetime more experience than some douche at the NAHBS who went to Bike School in August and turned out his first track frame in September. Given the same material, I’ll take the experienced Asian welder over the hipster bandwagon-jumper.

well i kno some of my deals look sketchy ex: Toshi+GR-9 for $38 but hate to say it, that i know some people and get some decent deals on parts so that is genuine. other than that the Thomson stem was on ebay, some dumbass was selling htem for dirt cheap so i bought all 3 for someting like $100 shipped.
