BXT 135 Gravel Build – GRX 820 + Elitewheels SLR

Just finished my gravel build and wanted to share it.

Total weight: 9.9 kg (21.8 lb) including bottle cages, computer and lights.
Total cost: around €1900, thanks to promotions and few second-hand parts

It also took me quite a few hours to figure out the correct semi-integrated headset, route the cables cleanly through the frame and cockpit, and properly bleed the brakes. It was a lot of trial and error, but I learned a lot in the process.
