if you were seriously considering spending a low amount of dosh on HT I would just get an On One Scandal or Rock Lobster etc otherwise carry on saving dude

what are on-one pricing their new carbon frame at?

400 quid for a no-name frame (even in carbon) doesn't seem that cheap to me

I like carbon frames, but I wouldn't risk 400 on that without a warranty that you know will be stood behind or a solid recommendation from someone you trust.

just to give you an idea, quoted weights put something like the on-on scandal at only about 200g more, for about 200 quid less. and you're getting a known quantity in the manufacture. I haven't even had a proper look round for something lighter, but that's what I'd choose.

just found it while surfing. i think i should just carry on saving for the giant. i think a warranty would be best.

im in no rush. it will take about a year to build. just getting impatient

Sonic linked to a Carbon "Exotic" frame not that long ago. Cant remember the exact price, but it was pretty cheap. And Exotic seem to be fairly competent when it comes to carbon stuffs.

There you go.

And it's only £450.

Bargain!
