Looks like the cheapest build would be a dynowheel, with a halogen front and LED rear for $170.
I don't mind spending good money on my touring bike, but that's a totally different market than the Cateyes.
With a $40 hub, if I could get someone to pay me $10 to take the light, we'd be in the target price range, assuming I build the wheel myself.
