sorry, I don't normally do this kind of thing, but its not "costed", its just "cost". I apologize - haven't had my first cup of coffee just yet so I'm grumpy.
Tektro's are just fine. The pads sometimes aren't the best but you can replace those in 2 seconds.

I've had tektros on several bikes. The ones that came stock on my Moto Le Champ had awful pads. They were slick initially, got the most horrible brake dust on everything, and wore out really fast. Plus they didn't do a wonderful job of stopping. I replaced them with Dura Ace pads and all was peachy keen. Perhaps Tektro has received enough complaints that they have changed the pads.

I think you did good, allez, especially with all that extra stuff thrown in. Probikekit's a good outfit, but half the time it seems like they're out of stock on one or more components in a group. Just my experience as a window shopper.
Cheers.

Mouse is right about the inconsistencies of PBK's stock. But, if you have the lowest prices, you are going to run out of stuff. I was not trying to say that Allez got a raw deal. I think it was a great deal with all the extras thrown in. I was just stating a fact in case someone else needed some information...
