Yes - thank God.

I cobble them together piece by piece, mostly from the usual sources - eBay, Serotta Forum, CL, PBK, Ribble, Wiggle, etc. Mostly I haunt eBay looking for auctions that are poorly descripted or close at awful times, and then enter a low-ball snipe via esnipe. You have to be patient and it takes a long time, but it can pay off. For example, 2 weeks ago I sniped a new Chorus triple crank set for $51.00, and Centaur calipers for $24. I bought a tubular wheel-set cheap on CL just to get my hands on the Chorus hubs, and the Ritchey hoops came from a swap meet for $30 (the pair).
Remember - I bought the frame set last March.
I'd have to add it up to be sure, but I'll bet this bike will come in complete for around $1,000.
PastorBob had a link to a vendor in the UK that sold complete new Campy triple groups for good prices, but I lost it. PastorBob - you still have the link where you bought yours?
