Carbon road bikes with full internal cable routing and electronic 12 speed groupsets are incredibly expensive. For example the new Specialized Tarmac SL8 with DuraAce Di2 is an eyewatering £12,000.

In this episode, I am building a very similar bike to an SL8 or an SL7, but all the parts come from lesser known Chinese brands, including the 12 speed electronic groupset. The bike came out very nicely, the groupset is fantastic, and the final cost and weight is pretty incredible in my opinion.

In this episode, i'll cover all of the parts used, show the build process, and then give you my thoughts on the bike after a few hundred miles in the saddle. I’ll also go into detail on the LTWOO eRX groupset, and cover some of the known issues.
