T...Necro thread, but if you want a rough estimate.<br /><br />The rohloff hub sets you back at least $1400 the frameset $600-900 modifications for S&S couplers at least $500 (probably closer to 750-900 including shipping and paint) smallparts cranks, bars, stem, rims, spokes, tyres etc. Easily $500-1000<br />Oh, and the SON dynamo is pricy too, probably $150-200 if memory serves me.<br /><br />Add to that a lot of work, planing the build, ordering stuff, back and forths with the customer.<br />Add in a good amount for that.<br />You are probably looking at a project for at least $4-5k probably more.<br />If you can skimp on the S&S couplers, beltdrive and Rohloff speedhub a complete Surly runs you around $1300-2000ish , swap out bar, stem & saddle for what suits your preferences and you are good to go.<br />neLphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951840056908409604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409974780498389429.post-48831683797956035142020-06-11T06:12:11.982-07:002020-06-11T06:12:11.982-07:00Could you please tell me the final cost of this pr...Could you please tell me the final cost of this project (bike)???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259434967100953256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409974780498389429.post-55899475066471596802016-08-04T18:35:31.503-07:002016-08-04T18:35:31.503-07:00Not in stock form.
