Thank you. I mostly got used parts but in good condition from Ebay. The wheelset (rims, hubs, spokes, cassette and tires for $150 (includes shipping). The handlebar is $18, the stem is $20, The quill is $15, the bottom bracket is $20 (new). The chain is $11. The crankset is $38, front derailleur is $18 and The rear derailleur is $23. Spent a little over $300. If I was going for a more expensive bike and nicer bike it would cost me at least $700 up. I don't want to spend that much money in one day. Saw some nice looking bikes at local bike shop but the components are nice but on the cheaper branded side. I might end up replacing those components too. So I decided to get a Hyper Havoc. I love the color. I love the frame design and I love how it looks. It took me 5 months to get everything I wanted. Tools for removing the components are cheap too. I just have to buy the tools for the bottom bracket and crankset.

I was going for a Sun Rhynolite wheel set. It comes with a Rhynolite rims, DT Swiss spokes and Shimano Deore hubs for $125/ pair. It is nice and really light. However, found a wheel set that consist of Araya RX7 rims with Shimano Deore DX hubs and skewers, DT spokes, Shimano 7-speed cassette with Michelin wheels (France) for $150/ pair. It has few scratches but not a big deal.
I love how it rides now. My bike runs smooth with no noise.
