Hi All,
I'm looking at swapping out my second road bike for something more suitable for gravel/bridleway/winter riding and have decided (probably stupidly) to build it myself.
After looking around, I have settled on the basics as per below, what I wanted to know is if anyone had any other frameset suggestions or views on what I am looking at - I'm pretty new to the this type of bike so any help is appreciated!
Frameset: Kinesis Tripster AT with Kinesis Carbon DI2 seatpost
Gearset: Shimano 1x11 GRX DI2, Shimano MRT800 discs (I know I don't need DI2, but I fancy it and I have found it for £200 more than Ultegra mechanical)
Fulcrum Red 5 wheelset with Panracer Gravel King SK Tyres
Profile Design DRV/AERO Bar
The rest of the bits I need I have kicking about in the garage, so total cost of the above comes in around £2k - so probably £2200 all in for anything I have forgotten.
I'm pretty much set on 1x11 DI2, so mainly any views on the Frameset or alternatives would be great.
Thanks!
