Sold my Dolan Ares so which has been an amazing bike for training and racing. Fancied a change and got a Scott cr1 pro which has dura ace and all top end kit on but think the frame is a little less focused than I am after. Thinking of selling frame and swapping everything over to make a quality race bike. I am going to set my budget at £1000 for a good new frame or a very good second hand one.

Some options so far include:

Trigon RCQ29
Canyon CF SL
Planet X n2a
Scott foil (di2 only so need to modify if possible for mechanical?????)
Starley jk rs1

Used Giant tcr advanced 2012

Any advice or experiences/suggestions welcome.

Cheers

    Haven't ridden any so can't help you much. But I know you're gonna find it nigh on impossible to install internal cable routing on a Di2 only frame. You could always glue some lugs on it though :)

    I have read a little on it and that seems case. It comes with ultegra kit minus crank and brakes but want to keep DA so looking like a non starter. Cheers

    I recommend the Trigon and Cycle division, the guys who sell them - get in touch with them they offer good advice.
