As above really, I am looking to get a new carbon frame, i do like the look of the cannondale six, spcialized tarmac or is there something els that you guys would consider. Budget wise i would spend up to £1500.



Thanks

    I think Cannondale frames are quite difficult to get hold of. For 1500 you might be able to get a deal on an 09 S Works Tarmac, I think it's the SL2 model.

    How about a Scott Addict frameset?

    Orbea Onix - much more 'subtle' (ie classy) than the Specialised :)

    At risk of sparking off a war here, admittedly its pure personal prejudice, but FWIW Specialised seem to me to have no class at all. Orbea or Scott much much more desirable.

    I know from experience that the Storck Scenario C1.1 is a very, very good frameset. Good value as well at £1245.00.

    Why not get a proper race bike frame with a real pedigree of winning; Trek Madone is my recomendation - if its good enough for Lance then ... :D

    I am not the seller - just to give you an idea!

    Otherwise I would look at something like Pinarello or Cervelo
    Trek Madone 5.9
    Kinesis Crosslight T4
