I really like these framesets. Great value for money.

The saddle to hood drop is something else.

Nice, must get round to putting mine up on here. Need some inspiration for adding a touch of colour.

Thanks guys, I actually picked this up as a clearance frameset so it was under £300, otherwise it would have had to wait until summer due to me being 16 and money being short

Still experimenting on the position of the bars

Bit of a bargain then really. Bought.mine as a complete bike then changed wheels for some hand builts. Total about £1600 so not quite as good value compared to yours but still good compared to other brands.

Hard to put a total spend on mine as many of the parts were Christmas presents or stolen off my old bike for now, as well as small bits, e.g. cables that I always forget to add when working out cost, however I would say it was around £900 in total

A lot of bike for £900! Do you find the seat to bar drop comfortable? Mine is about 20cm, I should think yours is more like 30cm.

Not measured the drop yet, I find the hoods comfortable for any distance (max 40miles so far), and the drops good as long its it isn't for too long.
