I got my new XTR pedals the other day and now I am ready to compare the original weight of the Fantom Team to my customized version along with what it cost to get me there. My initial out of box weight for the bike is NOT accurate since I accidentally weighted the bike with my Python tires on it. The original stock weight for the bike was 25.14 but after weighting the pythons and doing some math the real weight is 25.9 pounds stock. The final weight for my finished version is 26.8 pounds LG. Here is a breakdown of what I added and its cost or would be cost purchased off eBay:

Motobecane Fantom Team =$1899.99

XTR crank $384 - the cost after selling the FSA Team crank for $253 =$131.00

XTR cassette- I didn't sell the Ultegra cassette since I have 2 9sp road bikes =$140.00

XTR pedals- bike does not come with pedals =$124.00

Hutchinson Python Tires- I already had these tires but buying a pair is =$59.00

Total cost for the Fantom Team is: $2353.99

This is still a great deal on what so far has been a great bike that I like to ride. Keep in mind that If you have to have the bike built by a mechanic bring all the new parts in and have them put them on while the bike is being built. This will save you a lot of time and money. You will probably be looking at $200 or less for labor to have a shop build the Fantom up like mine.
