Zu teuer? Was der Selbstaufbau meines Rennrades wirklich gekostet hat!
In my last video ( • Gravelbike als Rennrad? Warum das die best... ), I explained why I built an OPEN U.P. road bike. Today, we're getting down to the nitty-gritty and getting out the calculators: What did the self-build actually cost me? Where did I save money? What hidden costs are there? And most importantly: Could I have bought a comparable complete bike for the same price? I'll break down the entire build step by step and give an honest assessment of whether building it myself was financially worthwhile. 00:00 Intro 01:11 How I calculated it 01:44 The components 06:27 Hidden costs 08:05 What was the total cost of the bike? 09:13 Comparison with complete bikes 14:48 Conclusion: Was building it myself worth it? Bike Build: Frame: OPEN U.P. Drivetrain: SRAM Rival eTap AXS D1 and E1 (mixed) Power meter: SRAM Rival AXS Pedals: Xpedo M3 Saddle: PRO Vibe Alu Seatpost: Ergon CF Allroad Pro Carbon Wheels: HUNT 30 Carbon Disc Tires: Michelin Power Adventure If you're interested in content like this about road bikes, gravel bikes, technology, buying decisions, and custom builds, I'd appreciate a subscription. I purchased the frame and all components myself, and of course, paid for them. I've linked some parts on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/carstenheine. By purchasing through these links, you support the channel. It doesn't cost you a penny extra, of course. #roadbike #gravelbike #cycling
