Can we figure out the most expensive custom DH bike build using true DH worthy parts?
Find and post components and their MSRP and I'll add it to the build. If someone finds a more expensive part, I'll replace it in the overall list and it'll evolve from there. PLEASE post both the product name, the MSRP (in USD) and a link to the site which has the price listed and I'll add it to the build assuming it'll fit the build.
Currently, the most expensive frame we've found, unless we go with a gearbox or something, is the Specialized S Works Demo at $4,500 (thanks Kusa for finding that).
Keep in mind, with a gearbox bike shifters and drivetrain is generally included, so we miss out on some spendy items going that route. It might offset that though, depending on how much the frame is.
Here's the evolving build list so far:

And FYI, I'm going to use US MSRP to keep this consistent.
Some are very expensive, like mrp g3 micro carbone around 200$ i think.
-210$ front
-415$ rear
I'll check chainguilds out really quick and add to list.
We're quickly getting up to the $15,000 point and we're still short a handful of components.
X01 DH X-HORIZON™ Rear Derailleur : 272$
X01 DH X-ACTUATION™ Trigger Shifter : 141$
I know some of the build could have more expensive parts that what we've listed so far. Gonna dig around later to see if I can't find some spendier items.

MSRP of $699 for rear, $299 for the front.
http://www.jensonusa.com/Pedals/e13-LG1-Race-Ti-Axle-Pedals
Current total is $15,536 and still going to go up.
Alloy Nipples- $1.50 each.
Narrow wide ring- around %75.
Carbon railed Carbon body Road saddle-$475

Could do a Wipperman Ti Chain too if your going ultra bling @ $300
Is the BOS an air spring? If not add $300 for a Ti fork spring
for shifting take a look at German brand Across and their hydraulic AG E drive train, I think they sell them for 1500euros front and rear...
Or a box components set
