well.........about that..........
all said and done I probably spent like $1200 but that is including the bike and a number of parts I already had. I was originally going to try and put disc brakes on a mercier nano back in 2011 but hadn't gotten around to it for a number of reasons, so I had the hubs and brakes and I had some of the other parts hanging around. the thing that really hammered me was getting the the wheels built up, because you can't just run out and pick up a set of 20" disc brake wheels, with the spokes it was about $165 to build them and the rims were $140 on top of that but they are super nice. I realize I probably could have gotten a hooligan for less money but as I had said between the geometry and the steel frame I like this a whole lot more and this is exactly the way I want it now.
