) $199 new on Ebay....put whatever spokes you want on
Record Shifters $200 at Performance with 20% off.
180mm Double crank $200-$350 (if you want 7800n crank price is closer to 350)
Then throw on whatever stems, bars, saddles you want. Only thing neccessary is a Campy Rear derailleur (which isn't cheap, but you don't need Record there. non CF-Chorus is available for about $100 if you shop.
BTW, MY wheelset would completely dominate a Ksyrium SSC SL wheelset in a race.
this is assuming that the pedalforce frame is any good. with carbon fiber, you get what you pay for. also, you always mention ksyriums as if they are the benchmark for clincher wheelsets. if you look around, you'll see that the only thing putting them near the top is their popularity. something i still don't understand. more than anything, they just look cool. they used to when they were black, anyway.
