All for $80

Not bad, right?
That's cheap actually for all that work. If I were to have that stuff done where I live it would cost me about $250! Just the cables, chain, and shifters adjusted with labor would have costed $120 today!!

And some of you wonder why I don't buy my crap at the local LBS's in town.

In fact, in case no one believes me, here is a copy of their rate board.
