Prototype · evolving daily · ✓ = verified vs manufacturer · the rest is sample data Every tool we ship carries this same honesty strip.

Browse bike parts, click to add, and it checks fit, price and weight as you build.

Sample builds ▾
Each click rolls a fresh random build in that style, always complete, always conflict-free. Your current picks are replaced.
No conflicts found Check first: adds a warning (open the part for why) Won’t fit (open the part for why) Nothing selected yet: no data to judge ✓ Verified = interfaces & weight checked vs manufacturer spec; open a part to see whether its price is a confirmed MSRP or still a sample (else ≈ estimate) No ✓ usually means the maker doesn't publish the spec, not that the part is worse.

A green dot means no conflict among the dimensions we check. Some parts publish no data, so it's not a guarantee of perfect fit.
