I spent almost that much on the pedal force RS2 I built, about $3800 if you consider the cost of parts I already had on hand [$1800] plus the cost of components I had to buy for the build[$2000]. It's all chorus with rol wheels and about 15 lbs., estimated. It's worth every penny, too, and the frame was half price. Oh, and it's from Taiwan - if you ever rode it you'd never disparage Taiwan again!
