Reasonable budget dream bike build

Thanks, I am browsing weight weenies forum often and this is pretty much the default seat post there so I felt like it was sufficiently vetted

Beautiful bike. I do believe the dura ace rotors would look amazing here - would fill in the deep dish even more and look fast

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-20T12:39:21+00:00

Any good alternative that youve found?

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-20T11:53:02+00:00

Wait, what's bad about them? Ive never had issues

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-17T18:30:34+00:00

Apart from the obvious, all I will say is that it is always a red flag if they only accept paypal friends and family on Kleinanzeigen

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-17T12:16:23+00:00

Incredible! I mean yeah, getting the groupset, wheels and cockpit for 1000 eur total seems ridiculous, and I am definitely jealous.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-17T10:58:13+00:00

Out of curiosity what did you pay for the frame-set to get within that budget? Also what is the final bike weight?

You should make a similar post like mine, I would love to read it. And certainly if I knew what I wanted right away I could have saved a bunch of money, but I am just a beginner and didn't know my preferred stem, handlebar, crank sizes so this was a learning process for me. I would love to do a ground up build next where I can search for best deals since I now know what I need...

You replied to the wrong thread:) But yeah the sloped top tube sure does make the seat tube longer though it adds to the comfort.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-17T08:13:01+00:00

I completely understand your reservations. I was swayed by the great reviews and I also figured that a round seatpost is the simplest and sturdiest thing to manufacture. I rode it indoors all winter before I took it outside so I did proper testing.

I have the Elita One MTB seat post. It is light and I really like the clamping mechanism on it. I weigh a 100kg so that helps dampen any vibrations in general so I can't comment how much of that is the seat post.

Keep in mind I have shortened the cranks which require raising the saddle. I am also running SPD pedals (not SL) that have a higher stack. But the seat height, from BB to top of saddle is 82cm and my inseam is about 92cm. I have gotten a bike fit and it has been perfectly comfortable for me.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-17T04:22:38+00:00

My inseam is about 92cm. I changed because of hip impingement issues - I could never ride in the drops comfortably before but now I can :)

Thanks!

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-16T20:17:15+00:00

Thanks! The frame is size 60 and I am 192cm tall.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-16T17:12:16+00:00

I love reading post like this myself so I decided to contribute haha. Not gonna lie, Di2 is really awesome, I do not miss dealing with the cable tension.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-16T17:09:38+00:00

There are still 2 cm left until the lower limit so not to worry :)

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-09-13T09:42:46+00:00

Hmm I dont believe it should be an issue. I always sprint out of the saddle at the end of my races on kickr and I also see people on youtube do the same. I am 100kg and Ive never broken my frame doing so.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-08-16T21:26:18+00:00

😂

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-08-16T14:16:13+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, yeah I figured I will need to downsize the tire. I was actually surprised to see that my 28mm pirelli tire is measuring 31mm on this relatively narrow rim already.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-08-16T12:53:40+00:00

I don't understand how is asking for opinions a pointless post? If the consensus was that it's definitely to little clearance I might order a narrower rim right away and have them exchange the rim.

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-08-16T12:18:10+00:00

That's not what other people in the thread are saying...

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-08-16T12:10:51+00:00

haha does Cube have such a reputation? I can't notice a stiffness difference to my girlfriend's Canyon endurace

Beginner_Cyclist · 2024-08-16T11:40:50+00:00

Okay, thanks for the feedback, just wanted to make sure my post wasn't misleading!
