Hahah, I did just what you advised NOT to do!
$340 wheelset, Dura Ace NJS hubs with Mavic GP4 tubular rims, with just ok Tufo butyl tube tubulars, ok for now
$50 Dura Ace NJS BB.
$50 MKS/Specialized track pedals
Both Dura Ace are loose ball bearings, which i think are superior to sealed bearings. we can argue that idea later. Total was just under $1000 USD.
Everything can be fit to another frame later, but I think this will be faster than I will ever be. I had it on track last weekend, it is more lively than the clincher equipped Pinarello i have rented from the track.
BTW, Aventon does not make/offer this bike or frame any longer. They only make E-bikes now.
Best,
Robin
