This is my build blog where I started by asking should I use my old heavy bike or new carbon bike for a cheap chinese kit.
What happened over the many pages was that I was convinced to go with the cheap bike with the cheap kit.
However that went to cheap el crapo land and then I paid some real money for a decent kit and a new Hasa bike. You can see it unfold or you could just jump to where my hasa FS 4065 road bike is by jumping ahead.
Keep cool and check out my channel of how my bike is running.
Also the electric bike is now for sale.
If I had to build this bike again (not taking shipping into account on most items)

As you guessed it $4000 all up. Yes it isn't brand new but take into account all the false starts (stuff spent on things that didn't work) and all the shipping on individual items and all the work to customise all this to work together and I'd pay the same amount again.
For most of the above the shipping costs were not included.
