I was just playing around with his nonsense.

On a more serious note, on STEEL frames, My local shop does Rohloff installs starting at $2000. The carbon drive is $500 more. The Paragon drop outs are $250 a set, plus 600 to retrofit. Then paint is $400 to start.

So feets $3700 vanity suggestion to retrofit makes perfect sense.

Oh, don't forget a wheel build & taxes.
