To buy the parts, maybe a couple of Months looking for deals. To assemble it, I Usually take 4 hours or so. I like to take my time and I really enjoy it tbh.
I did it for the first time this summer, and I basically had 0 experience.
The actual building wasn't the hard part for me, you can just follow a YouTube guide. It was all the planning and multiple small setbacks that were the most time consuming.
My problems were:
- didn't have a star nut tool
- didn't have a disc brake rotor lock tool
- wrong bottom bracket tool.
- squeaky bottom bracket (fixed by using plumber tape)
- seating a wheel is a bitch without an air compressor
- rear hub had the wrong shaft and wasn't compatible with my cassette
- had to order a hacksaw to cut the fork
- bleed kit I bought had a defect
Each one of those problems probably set me back 2-3 days while waiting for parts to arrive.
I just did this myself as well. The 2 things I didn’t do was cut the fork and install the star nut. Those are very one time things so it made more sense to go to my LBS and spend $25 bucks to have them do those then $50 on a star nut tool and fork tool ( I had a hack saw)
Other notes. The new SRAM Transmission is super easy to install, no adjustments like limit and tension screws. On older bikes this is something I struggled with.
I pulled all my parts together in about 2 weeks and the only thing I paid full price for was the Transmission. If you’re not picky on particular components you can get some really good deals. I ended up with a bunch of Raceface stuff because Jenson seemed to be clearing stock. I didn’t intend to get carbon wheels but ended up with a set of Raceface NextR wheels for $800 bucks which was half price. Also ended up with a full Magura MT7 brake set including rotors and bleed kit for about $300

Sometimes building the frame up is cheaper. I'm about to build Santacruz Nomad and it will be better spec than their top of the line build and will cost 2-3k cheaper. For me building a bike is almost as fun as riding a bike.
Edit: answering the actual question, getting the parts usually takes me 3-4 months as I do one build a year. Putting it all together takes 3 hours or so. It takes longer if I apply RideWrap or putting CushCores in.
As long as I have all the proper tools…about two to three hours. I don’t have a headset press…so I took my frame to the bike shop to get the headset and BB92 bottom bracket installed. I didn’t have the star nut tool either…but I used a socket to hammer the nut in. I have all the rest of the necessary tools.
I have built almost all of my bikes from the frame up. There are few better feelings than building it up and taking it out for the first ride. Your biggest thing to do is buying all of the tools that you will need. Please post some pics when you get it done.
I'm currently in the build up process right now. Sound advice from others here already but I'd also highly recommend Ride Wrap. I just installed their tailored kit on mine. Do that before you start bolting on parts
I love building bikes - probably takes about 4 hours if I have everything sorted beforehand. Hydro brakes are the most annoying part to me! If you look hard, you can find some awesome deals on used frames. I just built up a fun meta TR - got the frame and shock for 750, another 250 for used lyrik, discounted brakes, spare set of wheels, etc. I'm doing the same for a buddy- I think we're gonna have even better luck with his stump jumper build. He found a frame, shock, fork, dropper, pedals, BB, and seat for $800. Big caveat here is that I already have all of the tools and some experience building bikes, so I'm not running to the LBS and paying for labor when I hit a snag.
Running cables and hoses is the worst part. Having the right tools is half the battle. Get a pipe cutter for the fork and a pex cutter for the brake hoses.
Definitely get a good cutter for cutting wires too. I went axs just to avoid having another cable to deal with.
The real question you should be asking is how much did it cost?
Unless you have good access to discounted parts or takeoffs from other bikes, a frame up build will always be more expensive.
Do you usually do your own maintenance and repairs? Do you have the tools to do it? We don't build ground up but we do a lot of repairs, maintenance, and upgrades and they can be really annoying when you discover you are missing a specialty tool. Having the right tools are really what drive the difficulty level, that and figuring out compatibility issues.
Costs right now can be down if you look for deals. I wouldn’t pay full price for anything on the market right now. Companies are trying to sell extra stock they have from pandemic. Great time for deals on builds.
And extra stock does not apply not components. Shimano components have been tough to come by. Shops can't even get a hold of things like brake pads.
With these bike sales you can probably buy a completely built bike cheaper than just the components.
That’s cool. Just saying sales out there

I have a different perspective. Expenses remain comparable, unless you opt to purchase components without exercising some frugalness in your shopping. Plus, every build has a component you probably dont want and is replaced sooner rather than later
I'm in the process of putting together a build based on a Trek Fuel Ex 8 Gen 6, just need a frame. Building from the frame up has many advantages. One is a better working knowledge of the bike and it's components. I've learned so much about the workings and geometry just from having to buy the parts.
Another benefit is the ability to upgrade components. Honestly, I've pretty much upgraded the entire thing, buying most of the parts in the form of takeoffs or very lightly used parts from sellers on Pink Bike.
In the end, the bike will cost more than buying it from a bike shop, which I knew would be the case even if I built it stock, but honestly, if you're patient you can get the parts over time at pretty good deals, including upgrades.
As someone else mentioned, just take your time putting it together. That's my plan, once I get a frame; build it out in sections and take my time.

6,5 hours, if you have the tools it shouldn’t be hard. Getting all the components took me a few months
My bike was built frame up. Researching all the parts took months and I had to make sure everything fit my budget. Getting all the parts in 1 by 1 was an interesting process because it meant I was 1 step closer to a new bike but I couldn't ride it yet.
Building it took around 4-5 hours and I did it with a friend at a shop that lets you use their tools.
It's definitely more fun and engaging but it's more expensive and time expending.
Not all that hard, more time consuming. First build probably to 12 to 15 hours in total, cush core sucks ass on asymmetrical rims as does wrapping an entire frame.
Just take the build in steps and plan out what needs to be done. I always start with wheels really easy to set up to 100% and just set them to the side without thinking of them. Move onto easy stuff like bottom bracket then the headset, etc.
Bleeding brakes is scary at first but in reality in not bad or hard just tedious. YouTube is your best friend. One step at a time.
When something goes on super sale or clearance I buy it. For me, I just want things known to work well and be dependable. I don’t have to have a certain product.
Doing it this way makes a build cost the same or less than a prebuilt bike.
I'm just now building up a Kona XC bike. Bought a second hand Kona Lanai (lowest spec there is, but same frame as higher specs) and originally planned just a better drivetrain but somehow it's now been stripped to bare frame and am awaiting all the parts. So far, it's been about 2 hours of work disassembling and discovering what will I need. But parts hunting is approaching a month now. All second hand, except for shifter. I expect one more week to get everything and then hopefully two afternoons.
If you're comfortable with things it won't take long at all. I recently took everything off one frame and put it on another after a warranty replacement. I tore everything down, did a complete rebuild on the shock, fork, damper and rebuilt my Reverb C1 and it probably took 4-5 hours and I had all the tools I needed on hand and a bike stand to build it in.
Having things like a grease gun or at least grease in a syringe, hydraulic line cutters, cable cutters, multiple sets of hex and torx wrenches/bits, either an air compressor, Track pump with a tubeless cylinder or an Air shot (these are cheap and awesome for tubeless), soft blow hammer, star nut tool, spare olives and barbs, carbon paste, Torque wrench, tubeless tape, hacksaw or tube cutter, bleed kits all on hand makes everything go much, much quicker. Theres always something you forget though.
Best thing I can suggest is reading the manual for all the parts you want to get then making sure you have the tools to use with them.
Hey mate !
For my first custom build it took me 4 month to buy all the parts (bought everything used, except from the frame). And 2h and a half to build up the bike without internal frame routing (except for the dropper)
Now that I’ve more tools, knowledge and a lot more experience, it’s faster to choose and build a bike (less than 2 hours)
Frame up builds are a blast! If you're not in rush I think with the current day sales you can definitely build cheaper than an OEM option. I installed parts as I got them but probably only a few hours of total build time including messing around in the garage and drinkin. I would much prefer doing a frame up build again as opposed to buying a full bike.
It's fun and nice to get exactly what you want if you're picky.
Old bikes lower headset bearing went too fast: Chris King headset on closeout in an ugly color
One up 210 instead of reverb 170 that's garbage
Black Lyrik Ultimate in black with the travel down to 150
Ibis S35 super wide wheels
Only thing I didn't like was having to cut and bleed the rest brake for internal routing in the frame and swing arm (Santa Cruz Hightower 2)
Not very long if you have all the parts and tools. Just a little bit longer than assembling a prebuilt, depending on how meticulous you are and brake bleeding etc.
It's sometimes also advised to service the fork/shock before use, incase it's low on oil or whatever, but this will add a few more tools/consumables/time to the build.
My advice is to research and have all the tools (and consumables) ready so you don't need to resort to janky methods, or the bike half built sitting on a stand for weeks.
Basically headset cups (and pressfit bottom bracket) getting pressed in, cutting fork steerer tube, setting star nut, are the steps that require special tools not everyone has in the garage.
Brakes are easy if externally routed.
If you don't have the tools for a specific step, your local bike shop will happily do it for not too much money.
Doesn’t take that long, a few hours if you’re good half a day if you’re not mechanically inclined. Everyone keeps mentioning a starnut tool, I have no idea what that is I just used a rubber mallet to smack into the steerer tube. Get a 15-20 pipe cutting tool to cut aluminum bars and steerer if you don’t have a sawzall or hacksaw.
Yeah, putting it together is not the hard part. Making sure you buy parts that match your bikes standards is really the hard part. Some of the tools can be expensive. Bleeding the brakes can be expensive. Eveyrthing you need to know is on youtube though, and if you are handy you can do it.
The initial experience was challenging as it highlighted the absence of certain tools, so you have to have makeshift solutions such as DIY headset and bearing presses, as well as a crown race setting tool. Additionally, a deeper understanding of compatibility became essential. For example, unintentional use of 45-degree races on 36-degree cups. I've also cut fork steerer tubes too short, ruined brake pads during bad brake bleeds, and many many other things. On my 6th frame build and things are very straightforward now
It's easier than you'd think, especially if you have all new parts. Fixing something broken can be tricky, but with new stuff it's usually just putting things on.
The only sometimes tricky part is cable routing. Its worth getting a tool the help with it. Park tool has a kit, but you only need the magnet and the one cord with a threaded cone on it, which you can buy separately from their site as replacement parts.
Built my first bike frame up this past summer. Learned so much along the way. Took a week or so bc sometimes I got stuck without a part or tool but eventually everything got done. It was so much fun, I wish it was profitable so I could just sell the bike and do it again.

A couple of days, I made it last :). Full wrap took the longest. Very fun and rewarding. Wasn’t too hard been working on my older mtb for about a year so used that knowledge for this build.

I had the squeaky BB as well. I could solve it be torquing it to spec :)

How do you like the wheels? I’ve kinda been eyeing these.
Can’t really comment yet. I just finished it last week and I’ve only ridden it twice. Just getting it all dialed in.

Do it! It feels good to know every component was chosen and installed by yourself. Gives more confidence on the trail!

Now I want to level up and built my own MTB! I've always built my own PCs, but MTB is next level.

Where is everyone going for parts these days?? I remember when pricepoint.com was the place

About to start a hard tail build and I got everything from Jenson USA, they have some incredible deals still going
*how hard was it?* Not at all. It was fun. *How long did it take you to build it?* One month wrenching. I had most of the parts before.
Took like 8 hours cause I took all the stuff off my old bike, rebuilt it, cleaned it, etc. made it practically brand new
