I used another site to make my own complete for you to see how much it would cost.

Blank deck (7.5 x 30.9)
Spitfire Classic wheels (Red 51 mm)
Royal Evolution trucks (5.0 Red/Cream Axle 7.75")
Bones Reds bearings
Lucky hardware (1-1/8")
Dooks riser pads (1/8)
Black Magic griptape

The total price of the complete is $89.99 + tax/shipping (That's approximately $97 + shipping). All of the stuff listed can be changed, but it may only raise or lower the price by a few dollars. This complete will leave you with some change in your pocket; enough to save up for another blank backup deck.

Hardware is the bolts and nuts and crap that hold the trucks on the deck.

Hmmm, to get a complete with that much money you'd probably have to get one off an american website that posts worldwide, cheaper you see. The only problem is that it's likely there's gonna be a hefty charge for postage and packing if you do that. Sooooooooo, what would be better is if you just went on ebay.co.uk, and search for something worldwide, and it probably won't be as much postage. Well that's if you want a really
good complete, I've ridden a few £25 Static completes that are actually really good.

You live in England and you skate and you have never heard of Blueprint? It's a British company, they make great decks at a cheaper price than the American ones.
