Bargain 'build it yourself' carbon bike

[Spiderweb]

Planet X are offering a full Ultegra Pro Carbon road bike for £799 but you have to build it yourself!
A cracking price if you have the tools and know how.

wow. Would be worth buying to split and sell as separate parts. The Ultegra groupo costs £500 on it's own.

& then if the frame breaks/cracks they can blame you for over tightening something

This was on my list of bikes I was looking at but I bought something else yesterday or I might of been tempted .
Looks good in orange.

I've got a SRAM Rival version. Really like it, decent finish for the price.

I'd buy one if it came with disc brakes

I thought they did a road disc braked racer, but not at that price!

Sort of. The RTD 80/90 series is reportedly "endurance" geometry whatever that means and the '90 racier. All I know is if I want to push on a bit it's (I have an RTD80) is more than happy and capable.

I quite like the idea of building a bike from a kit of bits. Press-fitting stuff into a carbon frame makes me a bit nervous though. BTW, there are some neat DIY headset presses on YouTube.
