Last week, Alex started to build his dream bike with an unlimited budget, using some of the most exclusive and beautiful parts, thanks to @CampagnoloSrl.
After building the bike and running through the full specs and details, he finally gets to ride it and decide if all this was really worth it…

@ruediger78 21 день назад

Splurged in a way on my last build. Bought the parts one after one and in the end I never added it up to the last Euro. But the rough estimate is quite a bit more than I would have spent had I just gone into a shop and bought one off the shelf. Then again I think I still got a good deal with the end result. Money no object: More italian style I think.

@svenlima 21 день назад

I already have my dream bike. It's a custom made travelling bike with a steel frame built by Robert Stolz in Zürich/Switzerland. I chose Steel because if the frame would brake somewhere in the Himalaya mountains any car mechanic or construction worker could repair/weld it. I bought it many years ago. Today Stolz' prices for the same bike are around 13'000 francs/euro. The only thing I would change is getting a Rohloff gear hub instead of a Shimano Deore XT.

@john_7986 21 день назад

I bought/built mine in the summer of 2021 when it was difficult to find a new bike of any kind. It has cost (so far) less than half of Alex’s bike. I’m way less than half the cyclist that Alex is, but I’d guess more than twice his age 😂. It’s a titanium Litespeed Cherohala all-road/endurance bike with a full Ultegra mechanical groupset, mostly FSA aluminum finishing kit, Reynolds carbon wheels with 32mm Gravel King smoothies, and Fulcrum aluminum wheels with 35mm Michelin Power Gravel tires.

@DariusOutdoors 19 дней назад

Depends on the stiffness. If the added weight makes you lose less energy to warping your frame then it can be worth it. And it also depends where the added weight is. If it's on the frame it's not as bad as if it was on the wheels because that you notice every time you have to spin them up. What shocked me more were the spokes. Round spokes lol

I think you nailed it when you said all that matters is that you enjoy riding it and, every time you ride it, you just want to ride it more. I've just built a TT bike from a mix of eBay parts, Marketplace bargains and a few new bits and pieces and I adore it. On its first outing in anger, it beat one bike that had a single wheel worth more than my whole build. It's not perfect and it's not meant to be - it's mine, I built it and I love it. And it's a project so will technically never be finished. Good video - and we need to see more of that vintage team car too.....

I put together my (more or less) ultimate dream build bike last year (Trek Ckeckpoint SL framesaet, GRX Di2 2X group set, Pro Discover carbon bars, Zipp carbon seat post, Selle Italia SLR Boost saddle, Garmin Rally XC pedals, Roval Terra C wheels with S works Pathfinder tires, - I have a road wheel set too with deeper Hunt wheels and 32mm Vittoria corsa pro tires) Ridden a little over 7000 Km on it and it has been BRILLIANT. Lived up to all my hopes and it feels SO good (helps I had a bike fit before getting all the parts and then building it to bike fit recommended set up). Cost a lot - but the Euro per smile ratio definitely worth it!

I built my dream bike this year: No22 Great Divide with the de-coupler option. Dura Ace 9200 wireless with the C36 wheels, disc brakes, PM, Darimo T1 seatpost, Darimo bars/stem and for the icing on the bike cake: Ti fenders that match the frame. Tips the scale at 17.3lbs, as the de-coupler adds only 150g! Total cost topped a few K over your build, but is my travel bike for many years to come. The hardshell travel case is small enough to be regular checked luggage too.

The full sus is about £3500 (including purchase) it's as good as carbon wonder bikes, just as fast and capable as any comparative bike. Costs, a bit less than off the shelf but better components. Oh and it'll last, I chose solid parts rather than fancy! - and all manual.

@H457ur 21 день назад

I splurged for a custom steel Battaglin Portofino G with the same gruppo, Deda finishing kit, Garmin power pedals, and with Campy Levante wheels (cheaper than Boras, picked because they can take up to 40mm tyres). The total build is a fair amount cheaper than this, mainly because it’s steel, not titanium, but it’s still so expensive that I had to get insurance. Surprisingly, it’s lighter than your build at 7.5kg, probably because I’m small and light (172cm/61.2kg) and the bike is optimized for my size.

@jayhoughton4174 20 дней назад

Great video, I love Alex’s enthusiasm and passion for his riding and his builds, but it does raise a question, do any of us have a dream bike build or do we dream of owning an off the shelf bike which already has the groupset we want? I know we all tweak our bikes, changing wheels, tyres, saddles and cassettes but these are generally based around a bike we want that just needs a bit of tinkering. Other than building frankenbikes out of what we have available does anyone dream of a building a superbike from scratch?

Someone likes classic Peugeots, spotted in the background. There's cycling link there somewhere, what about the Lancia though?

I'm not sure if your hesitation around the price is a good or bad thing...if it were a car it would be a bargain, but then at the same time remembering it's just a bike is what keeps cyclists grounded and prevents bike manufacturers from bending us over the marketing/financing barrel like the car industry

@ashleyjarvis954 21 день назад

Very clean/classy :). Id imagine in real life the comments/theft risk would make it just a p.i.a though. Happy with my trusty/crusty Cube Cross Race pro….😊

@bonbonflippers4298 21 день назад

Hahaha 😆. I got super embarrassed when someone recognized my bike and how rare it was to see it especially since it had custom paint. I wanted to run away but was stuck at a red light when a huge club of riders...

Sturdy Fiadh - you have a Sturdy? I have a Surly - garden variety 4130 chromoly - sadly no titanium in sight (and no carbon fiber either) - ten years old this year.

I built my Dream bike a Colnago C64, Sram Red with ENVE wheels, I love the bike. The problem is what next, while I'll never sell the C64, I'll always want another new bike

That frame is really nice, I'm really starting to warm up to titanium

@anthonykidd6595 21 день назад

Remember when we used to have rim brakes and you could build a bike that weighed a kilo less than this bike for around £2k?

@gcntech 19 дней назад

Rim what? Never heard of them 😉

@a1white 19 дней назад

Weight is a bit irrelevant really. If you wanted a super light bike, you wouldn’t be choosing Titanium

@anthonykidd6595 19 дней назад

@a1white weight is a bit irrelevant really? Yet at around 4 minutes 20 Alex weighs the bike and says "pretty light"

@a1white 19 дней назад

@@anthonykidd6595 pretty light for titanium yes, but if he was going for lightness over everything else, he’d obviously have picked carbon

@PanzerIV88 16 дней назад

So true, now I have a more modern bike with hydraulic disc brake, Ultegra Di2, pricier frame and carbon wheels... It's a "Specialized Roubaix Expert 2019" yet it must be easily 15lbs or at the very most 17lbs, 10,000$CAD but my "Cannondale Supersix Evo 2012" on rim brake and narrow tubular wheels was only 13.00lbs!!! Not even legal for UCI 😮 Yet it cost me twice less than my actual bike. I don't know why bike these days got so much more expensive, yet heavier.

I bought a titanium NOS for $2000 Canadian. Weighs 8.3kg without pedals. Feeling pretty good about that right now. I sure love titanium.

@Ostsol 11 дней назад

That bike cost as much as much as my car! :D If I were to spend a whole bunch more money on a bike now, it'd probably be an e-bike. The one I'm looking at is $5400 Canadian.

@lostinature 20 дней назад

I built something close to a dream bike (extremely modest compared to this one, but it's bought with real money). It's an old £400 ish mtb. Now tailored for carrying me and bikepacking equipment, it's close to £2000 total and has been on several adventures :) If i didn't have to pay for the components, I'd go for a frame with internal routing, stronger brakes, dynamo hub, maybe even a Pinion gearbox or Rohloff hub.

@rupedog 18 часов назад

Looks nice... But Not sure if the frame welding being that obvious/rough is a design feature or not, but the terrible quality finish on the crank arms I am sure is not deliberate.

@chicodusty30 21 день назад

Exactly what type of pedals are those? Are they magnetic?

@ghowell13 20 дней назад

This bike's price is soul crushing. Thos bike's beauty is eye watering. I've built a few "grail" bikes over the years, but they were all BMX bikes, and all built over the course of weeks, or months. Some over years, as I upgraded parts. Of all the wishes for the world, ending war, world hunger, etc. I would wish that each and every person would build thir personal grail bike for themselves. It can be done, if you adopt a long term approch, nad realize its a long term build. Itll make you the happiest youve been as an adult, since you got that first shiny bike under the tree at Christmas, or for your birthday ❤️ It just may solve a few world problems, along the way, too.

@melibaut 21 день назад

Nice bike! More than my SUV 😂 I wonder if Alex had more time, would he change the colour of the frame? I personally would have used a dark blue or black for the tape instead of white.

@petergoebelsmann4631 18 дней назад

It's a amazing bike. I will never go back to a carbon bike again. Titanium is the ultimate material for a bike and will last a lifetime.

@leighdickinson8299 21 день назад

Beautiful Alex, but white bar tape really is a no, no, you need some colour there!

@ANDBIKE7 18 дней назад

One question, why titanium instead of aluminum? Titanium is better in terms of mechanical strength, but in a frame the main limitation is structural, and both materials are similar in terms of stiffness. In fact, aluminum is more malleable, so it might be better for playing with stiffness.

@johnclement4781 21 день назад

Ignore the price it’s beautiful 🤩… do more with campagnolo they are the best groupset manufacturers ❤

@MrLuigi-oi7gm 21 день назад

Some people are having a stroke over the mass of the bike. I'm guessing the frame is a "large" as Shlomo is quite tall. A small frame would have cut that mass down a fair amount. Anyway, a dream bike is judged by far more than just its mass. And that titanium frame is going to be around a lot longer and looking lovely all the while compared to a light carbon frame that would crack if you looked at it sideways.

@TheNishantRay 7 дней назад

What's the point of titanium bottles? one of the biggest advantages of regular cycling specific bottles is that you can squeeze them to get more water out, but that wouldnt work with metal right

@lbx5359 21 день назад

I’m a bit disappointed in the bottle cages. What are they? They look like generic ones. I would have gone with Elite Ciussi’s in steel colour but I’m sure Silca Titanium would have been channel sponsor-approved, looked great, and be priced perfectly for dream builds.
