With 11 speed Ultegra, chinese carbon wheels, Ritchey WCS bars and Michelin Pro4 tires. Everything is brand new except for the saddle which I already own. Total cost minus saddle = $1690 and should be right around 15 lbs by my calculations. Would probably cost me 3x that amount to buy a pre built, name brand bike that is 15 lbs stock
That's great, I miss calculated the costs in my earlier post, the velobuild complete is around $1700-$2000 however, including shipping of parts from different countries and assembly costs at my lbs, it would be closer to $2500.
If I had seen this bike earlier I might have bought it as it is around $2000+

Regardless, I had a great deal from my lbs for a 2016 model that's around $3200, lifetime warranty, 50% refund for a bike upgrade within 2 years! Imo that can't be beat as its and aero cf bike with Ultgra Di2 and fulcrum wheels from a reputable bike manufacturer.
Please posts the pics of your bike when it's done, I'm sure it'll be awesome
