The Bill

Originally, my estimated budget is about $900.00, but man, here's how much I've spent so far.  I hope this is all I needed.  Since this is a DIY project, I haven't show how much I spent on the tools for specific parts such as the headset, bottom bracket, wheels, etc.  With the exception of the frameset, all the parts are new.  Even though the total is not really what I expected, I think I got pretty decent deals on many of the parts.  I spent quite some time planning on what I need for each store, so I didn't have to spend too much on shipping.  Sometimes if your total was over a certain amount, you would get free shipping, which was what I tried to take advantage of.  Last but still very important, originally, I don't want anything other than Schwalbe Marathon's but decided to give Vredestein a shot since they are $22 shipped for a pair from Nashbar.  I just can't pass this deal.  Hopefully, they will be adequate for commuting.
