Probably about 2600€ but reusing a crank and rear derailleur I had already.
Probably around 3300€ otherwise.
A Force CX1 groupset would have been a quite cheaper option, but incompatible with my etap road bike.
The rims are http://xmcarbonspeed.com/Productinfo.asp?f=1472
Beware they are limited to 60psi/~4bar max.
I'm not sure I'll be able to reuse them on my road bike, as mountain climbing wheels because of that tire pressure limit.

That’s an awesome build! You must be stoked.
So they can make the frame with fewer cable routing holes?
Also, what about the hubs? Why did you choose Novatec hubs? Just curious on your choice over other options.

Stoked is the right term, yes totally!
I can't decide myself to ride it in the mud yet :D

Yes some folks on the ridinggravel forum asked for not having mudguard screws, so I guess there is some flexibility available.

I wanted to try a straight pull and light wheelset.
Then I saw these, relatively cheap for their weight, compared to other light brands.
Read about good and bad stories about Novatec hubs on the web, and decided to try.
They look very well built, we'll see how long they last.
