Gravel build advice?

[HyperD]

I am just about to start my first gravel bike build and have the following in my plan. What do you think, are these reasonable and would you change something here?

Frameset:
Ican Graro (EU warehouse)
https://icancycling.com/collections/carbon-frame-eu/products/graro-eu
- Includes seatpost and fork
- 828€
- 1560g

Wheels:
Ican G25 (EU warehouse)
https://icancycling.com/en-nl/collections/gravel-wheels-eu/products/700c-g25-gravel-wheels-eu
- 709€
- 1510g

Groupset:
Wheeltop GeX with carbon levers
https://wheeltop.com/products/wheel-top-eds-gex
- 599€
- 960g

Handlebars:
Ican HBG01 integrated
https://icancycling.com/collections/handlebar/products/hbg01
- 182€
- 450g

Crankset:
RaceWork including BB
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006794337930.html
- 150€
- 625g

Cassette:
ZTTO 10-44t
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006352923823.html
- 88€
- 333g

Tires:
Specialized Pathfinder 42
https://www.all4cycling.com/en/products/copertoncino-specialized-pathfinder-pro-2bliss-ready-700x42-nero-para
- 90€
- 1100g

Pedals:
RaceWork SPD pedals
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005931515865.html
- 25€
- 348g

Saddle:
Ryet 3D
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006678046650.html
- 40€
- 160g

Brake discs:
Cheapo and light (Trace Velo recommendation)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32878710242.html
- 11€
- 140g

Computer mount:
Cheap carbon
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006947196557.html
- 10€
- 20g

All of this should come up to about 2724€ and 7206g.

Missing still is a chain (perhaps 250g and 40€?), bar tape (70g and 10€?) and the tire sealant (100g and 20€?).

Would you choose the same parts and if not, what would you change? Am I missing something obvious? My wish is to have the whole bike under 8kg and under 3000€.

EDIT: I have also reached out to Lightcarbon about their new LCG087-D which looks extremely interesting, but since there's no pricing publicly available I'm not sure if it is a viable alternative.

[HyperD]

So I got a response from Lightcarbon and decided to go with them. This is what I ordered:

Frame:
Lightcarbon
https://www.lightcarbon.com/lightcarbon-gravel-frameset-with-micro-suspension-downtube-storage-plus-handlebar_p243.html

Wheels:
Elitewheels Drive G45 CS

Groupset:
Wheeltop GeX

Saddle, cassette, pedals and the other lot from Aliexpress.

I'm no expert but prices seem quite high, I got some of the parts for less. Doing research could safe you some money. Also the wheels seem expensive for the weight. I suppose you should be able to get cheaper and equal quality for sub 600€.

I'm doing a build with similar components and will be targeting 1800€.

Lastly haven't seen a gravel build sub 8kg yet. I would suppose you would have to buy different components. Around 8 plus should be possible. I'm at 8,35kg (calculated) and my wheels are already 200g lighter

That's exactly why I was asking for advice. Which components did you choose then?

I am at 7.2kg on mine minus bar tape, pedal and chain. I will end up around 8.2 I think, so less that 8 is definitely achievable as I don't have lighter tires, no carbon crankset. On these two points there is easily 300g saving possible I think and my handlebars aren't the lightest either. I think 7.8-7.9kg is doable with a bit more budget (my build is around 1600$) so probably 200$ would get you there

This is my actual build list. The weights are the respective info on from the seller.
I'm still waiting for my frame and my wheels and I then will start building it.

1736€ incl. shipping cost? if so your frame gets my atention very quick as we both are from Germany.

Carbon ceankset would shave a little more than 200g (Lexon) but everything else is really on the light end indeed

Yes incl shipping. I purchased the frame from surprised store with discount codes. You just need a bit of patience to grab the right deals.

Thanks! Here's mine. All of them have the weights also as the sellers have advertised them. I have calculated things like the fork, stem and others together with some of the items.

Mine is slightly cheaper but with Ltwoo groupset and Zrace calipers...

Are you doing LTWOOs gravel group? Or just road? I want 2x and it seems LTWOO only has that for road.

[Ludo]

I have the gravel, grt one with 10-50 cassette and 46T upfront. I live in Houston, no mountain to climbs here

[HyperD]

Just to update here, I've ordered all the parts (and some others too) and will start a new thread here for the build itself when things arrive.

Only thing I would suggest is going to a pathfinder pro in 47 if it fits. Wider, almost always, is better for off-road applications. Check out BRR for more info.
