Hmm. I'd always wondered about the build versus complete bike. When trying to figure it out, it's a little mind boggling because there are so many parts!

You MIGHT save $$ if you build the bike yourself and save on labor. But it is hard to imagine that you can buy the parts cheaper and install them for less than a company doing thousands of bikes...

Don't Orbea bikes come with Campy anyway? If you are looking for a unique bike swap ln/out some bling parts on a complete bike...
