Decent bike buld for the money, or better alternatives?

[MrWill]

Ribble 7005 Frame, Blackstorm carbon fork £156
Ribble headset £15
Fulcrum Racing 5 2014 wheels £130
Continental Gatorskin tyres and tubes £44
105 5700 group set £270
Deda Zero 2 stem £22
Deda RHM02 bars £21
Cinelli gel tape £10
Thomson Elite seat post £55
Thomson seat clamp £16
Specialized Avatar saddle £45
Shimano T780 pedals £43

Total £827

Should be 9.7 to 9.8 weight wise.

The Ribble bike builder wants £1037 for it, but I can get all the parts and build it myself for the above prices.

I toyed with the 'idea' of doing a Ribble R872 build from a frameset.

Seems bike builder options just adds common retail prices of all products.

I have seen a few posts/threads on here about Ribble R872 self builds & it would seem Ribble are not 'always' great to deal with, although problems can be resolved.

I have since put this to the back of my mind as my mechanic skills are not the greatest & I would have to pay a shop to build it for me.

Which would probably be better than getting Ribble to build it.
