Let me first thank everyone for the encyclopedia of knowledge they have donated to these pages. I have been lurking here for months and have used everyone's insight to help define my current build. To keep it relatively short, I wanted to ask for a small piece of advice. How much would you be willing to pay for the following items?:
Wheelset: Phil Wood HF Track Hubs (28 hole front and 32 hole rear w/ Fixed/SS) laced to Mavic OP with DT Swiss Double Butted spokes and average tubes and tires (3X lacing).
Bottom Bracket: Phil Wood Stainless Steel
Phil Wood 17t Rear Track Cog
Note: I already have Campy Record Pista Cranks (new) and you don't want to know what POS frame these components are going on (sentimental in nature)
My LBS says they will order and install the aforementioned items for $699 + tax. I feel this is probably a fair price, but obviously I am looking for some validation otherwsie I wouldn't be asking. I really feel that this is the *bling* setup I want, not to mention bombproof and virtually non-upgradeable (someone will prove me wrong). I intend to be one of those Jackass BFSSFG poseur tarck bicyclists everyone here loathes and I won't pretend not to be. I appreciate everyone's feedback in advance (including the negative posts that I am sure will surface).
