Tubes/rim tape ~$15, irrelevant because it adds to both costs.
75s were $100 because they were used, (~$130 market value) and sold to me by a friend.
$50 Flite, just got lucky.

Yeah some of my parts are second hand, but in the end I have a much nicer bike IMO than the bike Scrod built up for his customer.
