When people find out I recently bought a new bike the first question they ask is "which brand?" It's hard for me to answer since I spec'd the bike out myself, part by part. Also, most people associate the bike's identity with the frame. But, on my build the frame only represented 20% of the total cost. If I were to answer that question in order of cost, I'd say "Madfiber, Dura-Ace, Stevens Xenon, Ritchey WCS."

Here's the breakdown of % of total cost.

What's your bike's breakdown look like? Keep it in terms of % total cost for easy comparison to everyone else.

Frame-fork 35%
Wheels 35 %
Groupset 20 %
Components 10 %

I was lucky enough to receive some Lew rims, so otherwise wheels would be much more.

My philosophy is if it shifts reliably, the name doesn't matter. Wheels, contact points and frame especially dictate the ride.

So, does this mean I ride a Hollowgram SRM?

And that you don't have Lightweight Obermayer Special Edition Gold wheels.

Lucky to receive Lew rims? Lew? Lucky? How are those holding up? What hubs, spokes/number, etc. are you using? I guess you're not in Egypt.

Fuzzy math! I love it

Looks like mine is fairly well distributed:

Frame / fork = 30%
Wheels / Tires = 25%
Groupset = 28%
Components = 17%

This is for:

- Soma Smoothie frame / Whisky Parts No. 7 full carbon fork
- Ambrosio Nemesis rims / Shimano DA hubs / Bontrager Race X-Lite tubulars
- SRAM Rival shifters/RD, Force crankset, Dura Ace FD, TRP 920 brakes and KMC chain

The wheels / tires would have been a substantially larger percentage if I didn't get such a great deal on the DA hubs.
