Whew! I checked on the price of my wheelset, and it was well under $2000. Though I do plan to participate in 'sanctioned racing events', I nonetheless worried that I was out of my 'right mind', for exceeding the cost of tandem wheelset beyond that which TG 'could ever recommend'.

But if $2000+ for a wheelset indicates mental illness, then there must be similar demarcations for other components. Perhaps for our edification, TG, you could post a table for all components on a tandem, and indicate for each the cost that no one in 'their right mind' would ever exceed.
