I have not added it all up yet but I think its right around 1200 bucks so far. when i got the front suspension fork, I thought i could modify it for my disk brake but its not going to work, so i ordered a different one… so i think i am close to 1500 so far in cost…It is sure nice to ride…I have learned a lot building this and I think I could cut down on the cost a lot if I do another one… check out my web site…www.ivanbennett.com ---
