Example Builds

 

The tables below gives you a few ideas of what's possible for different budgets. Choose your frame, choose your build parts, and then look up the cost - there's even a section at the bottom for Rohloff, Alfine and singlespeed builds.

 

Of course these are just examples, we don't expect you to just pick a build exactly from this list, it's best if each build is worked out individually to be perfect for you. If you'd like this table in Excel, with extra columns added so you can start planning your build, then give us a call or drop us an email and we'll email it to you.

 

Road Bike Custom Builds

The examples below are for mountain bike custom builds. If you're interested in a road build, we can do that too, just give us a call or drop us an email and we'll get you started. A good place to start though is Trek's Project One programme - click here to find out more.
