Dream racing road bike build for normal people based on Chinese carbon SP053V frame and Shimano 105

#savetherimbrake

Bike build based on full carbon frame with integrated cockpit, model SP053V.

Groupset is full Shimano R7000 105 with compact crank and aluminum training Vision Team 30 wheelset together with Continental GP5000 tires.

The goal of the bike was to perform as a training/racing bike for amateur rider, while keeping the price low as well as the weight.

Bike weight without pedals is 7930 grams (due to heavy wheel-set).
Raw frame in size 56 weight is 1015 grams.

Thanks for doing that kind of video for "normal people"

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Try building a bike for the first time and don't want to break the bank. I wish there is more detailed explanation about each step. Especially installing the cables and connecting with the shifter and break, for beginners like me.

Nice build and attention to details. These small things probably makes this bike ride better than many expensive top-end bikes 👍

[ZelfinaQT]

been looking for this kind of builds because most build videos promotes the di2 system. kudos man! 💚

[lloydusdavies]

Great video. You show the detail bits that other build videos gloss over. Like the wheel balancing as well.

The helicopter tape around the BB area is a great idea!!

Aerospace engineer and mechanic here. Just wanted to let you know, you are gripping the torque wrench sub-optimally. You're supposed to grip it from the end, where the grip itself is. Placing your hand on the middle part of the wrench may vary the torque output depending on the style of wrench.

[jennieleighloomis]

Definitely helping me out with my next build.

Since I have to change the inner and outer cables every year because I ride all year round, internally routed cables are just too fiddly for me...but to each his own...

[freddennis]

Just watching this. Gotta say I really like your saw guide

[jscalabre]

I feel like there are so many small super advanced little tips that I can't even understand. It would be so nice to have some commentary or explanation!

[mohammedulhassan]

Thank you for the awesome video. Would it be possible to share the comprehensive list of parts?

Un Formidable Ensamblaje. Gracias saludos Alfredo desde Montevideo Uruguay.

[frits]

Ah happy to see there’s still room for normal people

[jscalabre]

This really is an incredible build, very satisfying to watch

[seanstuck]

Never thought of using one of those on a stearer

[taeiko]

perfect, nice editing. what stickers are used for balancing

[krissk]

Its eay much cheaper buying logos and branded bikes wuth same frames.. get a good frame and build with good components... patience is key. Am gonna do the same with shimano parts. Mechanical brakes.

Great video. If you're still in pursuit of "cheap" bike frames, I wonder what you think about ELVES? I made lately one myself. (Also rim-brake based). Model was Falath Pro 2022. Bit more expensive than this frame, but still "within reasonable budget". Bonus was I could pick one of their paint schemes and colors. Build process was pretty much the same as you nicely show here, though the handle bar was completely closed, so the front brake wire came out along the stem, to be better aligned with the head tube. Drawbacks? Sure. Quite a struggle with head tube bearings alignment (frame inner space tiny bit too wide and duh - I'm still not sure how tight to squeeze the seat tube. Struggling to go beyond 6.5 NM, though they say to squeeze it with 8.
Final result? Masterpiece for "pennies".
