My guess..."exotic" materials and you can rebuild it. Compared to the lower quality groops, the Dura Ace has much less press fit bolts and a high number of screwings

I don't get what you try to say
I meant new dura ace shifters, they seem relatively simple on the inside to cost so much at retail.
Try getting a CNC machine shop to fabricate all the individual parts to the same exacting tolerances and surface treatment quality.
You'll be even more shocked how much it costs ....
Pretty daring project this, FastDad! What's your target weight or how much do you think you can save?

Any news on the project?
I was wondering, does it make sense/do you plan to, remove the return spring from the brake-lever, since theoretically the springs in the brake-bodies should suffice to pull the lever back, or not?
