Choose your frameset (frame + fork) based on the desired performance. Material options include aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, and titanium, each with unique weight, stiffness, and comfort properties.

Wheels and tires impact your ride feel significantly. Consider rim size, material (aluminum or carbon), and spoke count for strength and weight. Tire selection involves size, tread pattern for terrain (road, mountain, etc.), and puncture resistance.

Select pedals based on your shoe style and riding preference. Clipless pedals and compatible cleats offer efficient power transfer, while platform pedals provide better shoe grip for casual riding.
