Top end sportive / enjoyment riding frameset

JamesB

I may be needing to replace existing frameset (maybe starting cracks )---so have full set of equipment already (Campag record); which of following would you recommend, or have used and can comment on:
Van Nicholas Astraeus---because I like Ti bikes
Look 566 or 586, but I`m a bit dubious about mast type eseatposts
Orbea Orca silver

or any other suggestions? to be used for enjoyment of riding a really nice bike / multiday climbing challenges eg Raid Alpine / sportives but not any racing

thanks

I am the god of hell fire

I have been desperately trying to justify a new Cervelo however discovered Canyon via the legal case and am currently slightly obsessed with the idea of something less obvious

The Sabbath Silk Road Alp is pretty much purpose built for the sort of riding you mentioned. As is the Enigma Echo. You could also have a look at the Verenti Rhigos, which has a very relaxed geometry.

Look do the 568 with standard seatpost now so no probs there !
Mines the 586 ISP and its better then a seatpost...stiffer and looks the dogs as well
Its very comfortable but its a race frame and therefore lower front then what your after I recon. the 566 is more long distance and confortable and sounds more what your after ....highly recommended Look !
