Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to this forum. Thank you for accepting my request to join. Also I am fairly new to the DIY Bike building - but highly interested and motivated.
What I am looking for is the following: a fast, race-ish oriented gravel bike (wireless shifting, carbon rims and >45mm tire clearance).
I am 180cm with 82cm legs. Usual saddle height ist 73cm. Currently riding an aluminum Canyon Grizl size M. I am already looking through the Forum and found some maybe fitting frames like: GR201, G068/G069 or Velobuild AERO Grav. Still quite unsure though.
What I am also unsure about is the following: How "expensive" is it, to build a nice sub 8,5kg bike (without bottle cages, pedals, etc.) with an electric/wireless shifting and 4-5cm carbon rims? So far it's quite hard to estimate for me.
Any help/recommendations would be highly appreciated. Also any indication how hard it is to build the first bike by yourself.
Best reagrds,
Freddy
