So I'm in the middle of a build project and thinking about how much coin I'm dropping on what was supposed to be, essentially, a step up from a beater is getting me a little down. I've spent over $500CDN (about $400US) and I still need to buy a seatpost and bars and get the Spicer track fork I picked up threaded (or find a different fork, or buy a threadless headset and stem...). While I have been able to spread out the outlay of cash over the last couple of months, I still could've bought a pretty decent complete bike for what I've spent already.

So I'm wondering how deep you folks are into your current projects? Are things geting out of control?

ps - Anyone want to trade their 19t cog for an 18t cog? Got a spare set of B123 bars kicking around?
