Last week, Alex started to build his dream bike with an unlimited budget, using some of the most exclusive and beautiful parts, thanks to @CampagnoloSrl.
Alex is at the first men's grand tour of the season, the Giro d'Italia 🇮🇹 He takes a look at the hottest bikes of the pro peloton. From custom paint schemes to brand-new handlebars and wheels! He covers the lot! Enjoy
