Eyeballing it:

- $300 for the steel frame (retail cromo disc-compatible frames are in the 400-500 range)

- $200 for cheap disc wheels

- $100 for the disc brakes

- $200 for the remaining components (levers, crank, seatpost, saddle, etc)

So yes, $800 seems perfect. I couldn't hope to build a bike that cheap at retail cost.
