You guys do realize that bike parts cost money right?
Shimano Ultegra Long Cage RD: $60
Shimano Ultegra 6800 Rear Derailleur | Competitive Cyclist
Shimano Ultegra 11-32 Cassette: $55
Shimano Ultegra 6800 Cassette | Competitive Cyclist
Shimano Ultegra Chain: $22
Shimano Ultegra CN-6701 Chain | Competitive Cyclist
Add Tax
From my experience, bike shops charge around $60-$100/hr for labor.
$250 really isn't that far out of the ballpark.
