Default DIY Rollerskis from NordicPro website

Someone provided this link recently:

http://www.skiroller.de/pl_ersatzteile.html

It looks cool and I emailed the contact person.

I don't know German very well.

It looks like you can compile a cheap set of rollerskis just from the
parts shown. True?

I see that wheels are 17 euros...or is that 17x4? Beams are 22.50...or
is that 22.50x2? Can someone determine what a whole set's worth of parts
would actually cost here, ballpark?

Is there a clutch offered in all this?

They offer complete classic rollerskis for 178euro...but it looks like
maybe bindings are included.

Ya know there's a GORGEOUS website (for an Other Interest of mine) for
DIY kit knives that are just a leetle nicer than usual:
http://knifekits.com. Looks like you pay $60 for the parts to make a
$200 knife. Cool...
