for me it varies wildly, depending on what i am doing....I tend to using hi quality stuff as these are for my use.

my latest build, used heavily from parts I had in the inventory (pile of parts mess)

so I paid 170 for an SR Semi pro
panaracer pasela tires 60
conti race lite tube: 19
jagwire brake and shifter cables 30
rear rack 30

so direct cost of $310

but parts i had and reused would have been several hundred dollars cost if I had to aquire
Brooks B17
Velo orange postino bars
cork/rubber grips
tektro city levers
Tektro dual pivot brakes
