to be more specific... M9 is talking about the "Deus premium"

To give an indication for my bike:

- Deus bike based on initial quotes i was organising with them for pretty much equivelant to what i have now (before realising i wasnt thaat much of a rich kent) ~$16,000

- My bike as original = $6000 (you can get much cheaper)
+ parts spent to date ~ $2500
Totals ~8500.

Thats almost HALF! Deus make amazing bikes... and i'm not for a second implying that the quality of my work matches theirs... they are world class.... WORLD class.

but unless you're a millionare looking for another bike for the ol' collection, then i highly recommend anybody do it themselves. Much cheaper, and WAY more rewarding...

Oh and FYI... THE go to guy for PARTS in aus is Adrian at Vanem. Period

the race reps are reaal nice tho... i'm thinking that direction for the next build... trying to find someone who can make full race fairings :-)
