You are racing in Denmark, why does it need to be light?

Again I'm just looking for a Chinese friendly local mechanic(s). Not interested in investing time/skills/tools/money into wrenching modern bike.Why don't you just call around? My LBS says he will work on literally anything, see if any of your LBS have that on your website. Some mechanics also charge a flat per hour rate when they're working on unknown components.
Knoxville TN, United States. Most of the people who I have ran into riding here seem to be older. Less exposure to the corners of internetYeah the older guys definitely aren't as aware of the Direct to consumer chinese brands since they have the money; the younger guys are the ones who have to stretch the coin and look around
Not many people post photos of their completed bikes on here, but I always enjoy the posts. So I wanted to post my recently completed build on here, and share how much I spent. A lot of builds on here are really balling on a budget but I really purchased from mainstream vendors for less sketchiness, build came out to $3,288 assembled by my LBSJust out of curiosity what country?
Mechanics first "Chinese" build at the bike shop, he was very impressed with the quality and noted that the internal cable routing gave him no problems. All of the workers at the bike shop where really interested in the build and none had ever heard of Winspace. This really shows how obscure this forum is, we are so far away from mainstream. He did ride it and was super impressed with it, I told them how my goal was to create an entry level roadbike, but have carbon wheels at the same price point.

The claimed 1050g for a 54cm frame makes me skeptical... the frame looks quite chunky
