DT RR1.1 32h rim - LBS cost = $109, before tax. Online $79 with free shipping.
Carradice Pendle - PWC/Wallbike cost = doesn't matter because they're always out of stock. Wiggle (UK) cost $54 (added a couple items and got free shipping; it arrived faster by international post than a jersey I ordered from a company in Georgia. Not Georgia, the former Soviet Republic. Georgia, in the USA.)
