It is much faster for you to buy just the frameset, the bottom bracket and headset from us and buy the components and wheels you want yourself (or use what you have). Of course, we can provide guidance on what works and we can source group sets and wheels on your behalf if you really want us too, but we are just going to ship everything to you and you are going to have to Build Your Own Damn Bike.

If you have good kit, you will be comfortable, you will look good and you will be inspired to ride. That is the reason to pay for good kit.

Knowing that I have something in common with the fastest cyclist of the age makes me think that I can be fast, and just thinking that I am sure gives me a mental edge that helps produce a few extra watts.

I am no Tadej Pogacar, but I saw that if the pros run a single 58 or 60 tooth chain ring up front, they run an 11-28 or 11-25 in the back. "There will be gears somewhere in there that I can push," I thought. I was right.
