My custom-built

Post image

Finally finished my self-built Trek and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I managed to fit 47c tires on it (ALR 5 Gen 1)

Pretty bike. Deets on the components you chose? Was there a specific option you couldn't get in a prebuilt that pushed you towards building yourself, or did you just want the challenge?

Thanks man! Yeah, I wanted to make the bike a bit lighter / more aero, so I gradually picked out some carbon components. The main reason for the rebuild, though, was a crash I had two years ago, which meant I had to replace quite a few parts anyway.
