nova has monthly specials. I got one of the specials a couple months ago for $190 for the tubeset, lugs, bb and dropouts. Their chromo specials usually go for about $130. That leaves the forks. I'm interested in building a stack of forks as an experiment, and it's hard to do for less than $100 or so each. A unicrown fork is most of $50. Silver cost me $100, braze-ons about $25. It adds up. My tanks and torch were around $700.

The fact is, the first one should probably be thrown away.
