Well I just scared myself and added up every single thing I brought for the bike, bearing in mind I didn't buy a bike I brought ALL parts to build a bike from scratch.
Total so far is £1632.73 - $2564.04
And estimated total after the final parts brought and painting etc will be
£2079.84 - $3266.20
At least I should make a profit if I get what I was offered when it wasn't finished £4500 - $7066.8 we shall see what happens

I've managed $250 for the bike and about another $400 for parts/cleaners/tools/etc.
Not done yet, but my guess I'll have another $200-$300 invested before it's ready to run around.
