How addictive is bike building?!

<< < (3/3)

dsveddy:
Did my first from-scratch build last spring. I really can't stop, I'm an addict indeed. Built up a new cross/gravel bike last fall. Did my first wheelbuild this spring. I've upgraded my road build so much that I nearly have an entire suite of parts that I could build onto a frame, so I've been speccing and pricing out a beater build around those parts. Maybe to sell second hand? Not sure. I do worry that going that route will lose me money. But I sure am having fun.

Ludo:
How did the wheel building go? It’s one of my regret on initial build, I wish I went ahead and did the wheels myself

dsveddy:
Wheelbuild has been phenomenal. 1320g for a set of 50/55mm deep/28mm wide wheels, steel spokes. I'm planning to make a dedicated post detailing the adventure soon, as well as some tips and tricks. Lots of time invested though.

Ludo:
Awesome, looking forward to it
