Don't worry - if the market ever goes to the point that we have another bike boom and upscale yuppies are willing to pay $10k for a custom frame, I can guarantee you that Bontrager will come up with a set of (24k) gold anodized wheels for $3k, and Shimano will be right behind with a Super Dura-Ace crankset for $1k.
Don't even think of that next generation Campagnolo.

Don Wilson's hard worked scenario may create more problems than it solves. I mean the frame builders will be happily taking it to the bank, but what self respecting rich guy will want to pay ten or twenty grand for a KOF frame, then have to go put three or four hundred dollar wheels on it. A ninety dollar headset......it makes one ill even considering it. Has anybody seen any Krispy Kreme place selling their chocolate glazed for a hundred and fifty a pop?
