Is This Still a "Budget" Bike? Final Upgrades!

Last video I called this bike my race weapon. Then I took it to a downhill race and about halfway down I caught a pedal strike I couldn't recover from. Bent the pedal, walked away with five stitches. This video is the fix. New wheels, new drivetrain, new cockpit, new brakes, new pedals, and the answer to the question a lot of you asked in the comments: is $2,500 still a budget bike?
