Like he said he wants all Japanese parts (or at least non american parts) for whatever reason. I agree Phil cogs are too expensive. In Japan they are 3-4 times the price of Dura Ace NJS cogs. (maybe double in the states)....and the hubs are ugly (but I am sure they are good). We all have our own tastes in products. Get over it guys. He does not want the Phil cog.
