No.. Saris asks dealers to sell at MSRP when its sold as a retail package. Once you put a wheelbuild into the mix, all bets are off.
You can get the hub system on Ebay for around $800.00 or so.

while the price is great and the parts are good, I can tell you from firsthand experience that (my) builds from Quality are suspect. If you buy a prebuilt wheel, you may want to take it to an LBS for a once over...

i think it's sweet, i don't know why you're complaining, you WANT them to charge 1199.99$ + 200$ for a prebuilt wheel ????
