Re: Fast/race-ish Gravel Bike wanted What is even a fast bike? Second place of 2025 Unbound 200 mile was "won" with a BMC URS, their adventure bike rather than BMC Kaius, their gravel race bike. Unless you know what you're doing and aiming for budget build you'd expect to spend about 2000 - 3000 euro for a nice gravel bike with electric shifting. Building the bike by yourself is relatively easy - you don't need any degree to work at a bike shop - you just need plenty of tools that can be quite expensive, patience and willingness to learn.

Re: Fast/race-ish Gravel Bike wanted I build my first bike last month. A ICAN GRA04 "Race" Gravel Frame (there is a thread in this forum). With bottle cages, pedals and a toptube-bag its about 8.6 kg. I installed the Wheeltop eds gex. The wheelset is the elitewheels ent gravel carbon with 45mm hight. The frame have 50mm tire clearence.

So I would say it "fits" your criterias. Without the tools it costs around 2300,-/2400,- € including shipping, tax and a custom paintjob. I used some non-Ali products, like the chain, the tires and the bar-tape

The build went smooth. Watched some tutorials before and during the build. There was no problem I couldnt fix myself.

Re: Fast/race-ish Gravel Bike wanted 8.5kg is easy with gravel. Both my gravel bikes with pedals/mounts/cages are in the 7.5-8kg range and that's without doing anything exotic/expensive with parts. Tires seem like one of the biggest factors of weight for gravel. I always try to go for tires that balance weight and traction. Good luck!

May I ask what bikes you have and what the built cost you?

My main gravel bike is a Ceccotti RF25 gravel frameset (also know an SPCycle G056). I picked that up for about $400 USD during the 11.11 sale. I'm running LTwoo eGR which I picked up for $300 USD during the Black Friday sale. In terms of parts, I'm probably in the $1500-$1600 USD range including all the carbon bits and other components (lightweight cassette, carbon crankset, etc.). Depending on which wheelset+tire combo I use, my bike fluctuates in weight between 7.5kg and less than 8kg.

My other gravel bike is an older CX carbon frame that I use spare/leftover parts on. Even that bike in a 1x configuration is 7.9kg with a mix-n-match of Shimano & LTwoo groupset and whatever spare parts I have laying around.

If I actually took my gravel bike weight reduction seriously with higher end lightweight components, I'm sure I could build out a frame in the sub 7kg mark.  ;)

Are you satisfied with it? Could you post a picture? Still struggeling whether I should go for 40 or 50mm hight...

I have exactly the same D50CU-36 rims on my gravel bike and absolutely love them, have had them for 8 months now - here is a pic:

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame After messing up a few times (wrong chainrings, too short chain, realizing I miss parts etc.), I’ve now had 6-7 rides on my new bike. I hope to get the weight down to around 8.5 kg next year.

Frame: Size M with integrated bars (380/100 mm) in Pearl White
Wheels: Elitewheels Aero+ Gravel (45 mm depth, 32 mm internal width)
Group: SRAM Rival E1 13-Speed
Crankset: Magene P515 Powermeter
Chainring: WolfTooth 46T 110bcd with Drop-stop B
BB: Senicx T47
Saddle: Ryet

Full build weight: 8.9 kg (with pedals, bottle cages, Wahoo mount etc.)
Total cost: ca. 3.000 EUR (with a few tools, titanium bolts etc.)

First impressions:
This bike is fast! Even though I’ve been without a bike for 10 weeks (and in poor shape), I set a few PRs already. I feel it’s a lot faster on smooth gravel and pavement than my old Grizl CF (Rival XPLR and Zipp XPLR 303S). On rougher terrain, I’m not sure what’s fastest, the Grizl felt a bit more stable. But rough terrain is rare in my area, so I’ll happily take a little beating once in a while.

The Rival group is awesome. Coming from the 12-speed version, the brakes are miles better, the hoods are more comfortable and the extra cog on the cassette makes things a little more smooth. I miss my old XPLR 303 S wheelset a little (maybe because it looked cooler), but the Elitewheels are also awesome and a little lighter than the Zipp wheels.

Future upgrades:
- 48t aero chainring
- Lighter pedals (have XTR in stock that needs service)
- Pathfinder Pro TLR 45 or the new Caracal Race in 45
- Different handlebar and stem (I need a little shorter reach)

(sorry for the non-drive side image - and yes, the direction of the front tire is wrong in the first picture 8) )

Hambini says that it is the futur Winspace. I hope not 😂😂😂.
Of course not, we care more about the quality and service, not professional on marketing, and my business rules are totally different from them.
