A DIY Pro Carbon featuring Shimano Ultegra 6800 groupset is an amazing road bike combining quality, performance and value for money. Our most versatile road bike is perfect for every cyclist aspiring for a better ride.
High performance full-carbon frameset
Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-speed Groupset
Ambrosio Varo 11-speed wheelset
Weight: 8.1kg (MED)
this deal comes up annually with planet x, but in my opinion you don't get a much better value carbon framed ultegra equipped bike.
Additional parts required to complete the bike build.
Rim tape x 2
Inner brake cable
Outer brake cable
Outer gear cable
Gear Ferules
As these bikes are shipped unassembled you will require certain bike tools to complete assembly. An allen key set, BB wrench, torque wrench, cassette lockring tool, headset press, hacksaw and fork cutting guide chain tool/pliers and cable cutters should be considered an absolute minimum.

Caveat emptor - dreadful company if you ever have any issues and need to warranty or return anything

yeah not great, they are after making cash in any which way, hence the value prices..but if you can hit them at the right time then you can make out okay. I've had a lot of parts off them. Most annoying thing about them is there postage system, constantly changing the amount for free postage, or their special deals where they say 50% off and they have doubled all the prices the day before..

I think it needs to be made a lot clearer that you have to build this thing yourself. Even then you will have to cough up for a few bits and bobs like gear cables and rim tape, plus the cost of postage unless you live close enough to collect.
You can get them to build it for you, but that will set you back a mere £200.

it's not too difficult to put it together out of the box, I didn't read the small print, did not realize they'd stoop so low in penny pinching to not even supply cables and the like. cables and rim tape should come to 30quid max and that is shimano cables/outers. these can be bought alot more cheaper if you shop about and use alternative brands. A bike shop should charge between 50-100 quid to assemble. I'd do it for myself but I am a bike mechanic.. it's not that difficult anyway. If you want to attempt it yourself. make sure you have a decent torque wrench as to not over tighten on carbon. A cheap boxed toolset with most tools required can be purchased for 30 pounds from planet x or ebay otherwise, maybe just take it to the bike shop if you have no interest or experience in bicycle mechanicals.
