Title says it all really!

I'm smitten with the CX10 so am pondering buying it, but am wondering if a custom build would be either lighter and/or cheaper?

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers folks

I'm assuming you mean this model.

It looks very nice, compliments. Depending on the price you're paying I'm inclined to say to buy this one and tune it when and where it's needed. The DT Swiss will make fine training wheels but are not known as light. The components are Ritchey WCS if I'm correct. Not the lightest but it will cost a few quid to get lighter stuff so I'd stick with it given their quality.

I think Focus has the market on lightweight cx framesets.
