JunonFit - I Built This Carbon Road Bike Using AliExpress Parts - Here's The Breakdown

Description

Is it possible to build a full carbon road bike with wireless shifting, an aero frame, and carbon wheels for under 2000 euros / dollars? Most bikes with these specs start at over 3500, but I decided to prove it can be done on a budget.

Here, I'll break down every single component of my custom-built Hygge Model S carbon road bike. I'll show you exactly what I bought, where I got it, and how much each part cost. From an AliExpress carbon frame to a fully wireless groupset, this build is all about getting the best performance without breaking the bank!

Have you tried any of these parts or built your own bike from scratch? Let me know your experience in the comments below!
