    3k or 12k - its just the weave of the top layer of carbon and is just cosmetic really - go for the one you prefer the look of.

    So long as your current bottom bracket matches the new frame, and the front derailleur is 34.9mm band fitting then you should be fine with the frame you linked to with your groupset. You'll have to check dimensions and geometry of your current and proposed frame to work out stem length etc. The frame listed needs a 31.9mm seatpost - same as the Defy??

    You should find plenty of info here..

    I've just bought an FM-028 ISP from Carbonzone. Just got to build it now. Echo can supply carbon bottle cages, bars, stems etc very cheaply. Very happy with the service and delivery time from the Hong Kong area.[/url]
