Tell ya what mate, go back to the shop and ask them exactly what they are going to do for $100 complete with a parts list. Don't accept the "$100 triple to double conversion special" line as sufficient. As I previously posted, you're not going to get a proper conversion for that price unless they are talking about some used parts they have lying around. Also, what level of components are we discussing here? I just built a 105 bike snagging parts as cheap as I could off eBay and catalog retailers (cranks $60, rear derailler $30 & BB $30). A shop would be hard pressed to meet those prices just for the materials let alone a lobot charge. More info needed!
