Still BLOWN away by the final outcome of this bike, I know it is an expensive build but this is the first time I have seen a 13lb bike as a stock paintjob and a lot of big name items that still hold normal bike riding properties like a 2x setup or a 50mm depth wheel, and also 28c tires, there are still so many options to make this build lighter and also the bike is a stock paint job as a 52.... If you are interested in a build list comment below and let me know if you like..... Also I would love to hear your recommendations for the customer on what he can do next for the build.... Like I said in the video this is what the customer likes to do with there hobby and this is what they enjoy, not everything is about performance or saving money, All that matters is the customer loves what he does and loves what he rides.

Another place to save weight and it doesnt cost alot at all is to replace all the bolts to Ti. (Caliper mounts, bottle cage, rear hanger and jockey wheels, shifters and hose clamps, stem bolts, top cap) Maybe also the the axles in the pedals to Ti if it doesnt interfer with the power meters. Change out the stock hanger to a direct mount and the rear cassette to a Zoney with the gold spider. The total weight saved with a bolt kit change may only be 30g BUT in the world of marginal gains, there is a huge difference between a 6.02Kg build and a 5.99kg build. All-in-all despite it being a flex build, it really has come together very well.

Imagine that killa with rim brakes!

imagine if it was a different bike, different spec, and different? imagine

For this day in age with disk brakes, man is that a stupid lightweight bike.... Also expensive, but if you can swing it then why not, now if I couldn't swing it and I bought it, then I'd be scared to ride it lol 😆...

Bloody awesome dream build. ❤Titanium bolts and lightening the cage on the rear derailer is probably the only thing I can think of right now. Is it a stock dura-ace cassette? Wondering if a monoblock would be lighter? Also can the metal ring components within the dura ace shifters be replaced with carbon?

fabulous job. tremendous build - albeit throwing a tonne of money at it.

Them cranks ain't worth the risk. I have the titanium and aluminum version of elilee cranks. Aluminum version is 310g that's light enough.

Dude, the price difference is minimal tbh. And if you factor in that it will likely be something that you can transfer to your next bike, it makes little sense to save a few pennies now for a advantage to be had in the very long term. That said, is there a titanium version of the Eilee crank? I know they have a titanium spindle, but not crank.

@@GCPerformance18 I'm not saying they're bad. But to me it's to much risk. Like I said I have 2 of their cranksets, but I'm not willing to mess up my face or a vegetable for 40g weight saving. I never forget that my bikes are just toys

@@GCPerformance18 It's s really difficult process and not for your sunday rider. Buying top-end products, and then dissecting them and replace parts with lighter variants, from obscure small companies. Sometimes even create the parts yourself. Shoving of 10 grams here and there and then sometimes 150. I have seen videos of them on GCN and other channels

this industry is sick. unless you have 5% BF and around 400 w threshold it doesn't matter. I wonder when weight wenies will start breaking necks because of ultra light components.

It's cool to have hobbies. Mine is putting as much money as I can into accounts that make my balance grow. I cut back on all unnecessary spending too. It's become an obsession. But very rewarding. Investing into a bicycle like that is a waste of money. That dude won't even get half of that money back if he tried to sell it, and that's if it survives any length of time.
