  • So I missed out on that ti Omnium, I think I’m going to regret that for some time. So I’m looking at the pre build Omniums, but the specs look a bit shit and expensive at £2060.

    So I’ve been pricing up a self build as follows

    Omnium Frame - £970
    Xt group including brakes/ 1x chainset(no rotors! Wtf) £449
    Rotors - £56
    Xt hubs -£54
    Rims (Archetype rear, bmx rim £40 ?) -£100
    Wheel build / spokes - £130
    Sundry expenses front tyres etc - £100

    Bar, stem, saddle, seatpost, I’ve got

    That gives a total of £1859

    Am I missing anything? The frame comes with headsets (I think)

    I like the idea of building it up with with a road / cx drive chain but that looks like it would increase the cost by at least £300, road disc brakes are expensive aren’t they!

  • Could save a bit on the wheels. Kinlin rim rather than archetype, lace them yourself and just have someone tension them up

  • Saving money wasn’t really the priority, it was more about being happy with the spec for the money being spent. I guess my budget is £2100 plus £200 ish for the child seat stuff (better not forget that, seeing as it the reason I’m getting the bike in the first place)
