    The guy riding on the 160 EUROs bike is an absolute Legend. Period

      I must say, it was 180 euro. Those 20 euro are crucial

      That's me @svet.hristov, actually and those 20 euro would have definitely been handy for another CO2 cartridge, I needed during the race. Taking risky lines didn't pay off. 😅 bike wise, I had the sram red groupset lying about from racing for teams in the past. It really made the difference in terms of weight. The wheels were from testing I did for a company. Powermeter I got from previous sponsors in the past. All in all I had to spend 80 euro on bearings, cables and brakes. If you can find some cheap cx frame that fits 45 tyres you can probably build something similar(without pm) for ~600-900. Everything rim brake costs peanuts now :) if i had bothered to put carbon bars/seat/seatpost/stems instead of all this basic stuff could have gone under 8kg possibly. Happh riding all :)

      ​@@sergiubors2677 It was me @svet.hristov, no TPU tubes, it's all tubeless but should have spent those 20 euro on more co2 cartidges. 😅 Made a mistake and got a puncture, my co2 had popped in the bag already. After 20 mins someone gave me a co2 but then it was race over.

      while true that the guy is a legend, he mentioned that he swapped some parts from what he had laying around including a powermeter, so i don't buy the 180EUR for the actual build that he raced there, but still impressive

    "No pictures, please!.." - too late.. 😁
    I find bringing unreleased bike tech to a big, mass, covered by cycling media event and then asking not taking any pictures is totally ridiculous. So bizarre.
    Surely it all will be everywhere on the internet anyway.
    Thanks for another great video, Dave 🙏
