I have a set of Fulcrum Racing 5's and a full Ultegra 6800 groupset that I am looking for a top quality aluminium frame to build up.
I am pretty much sold on a Canyon Ultimate Al SLX at £567, this seems like great value. Is there anything else I should be considering? I don't really want to be spending much more than £6-700 and I dont want a Cannondale as I can't be doing with BB30 and adaptors for the 6800 crankset.

Hmm bb86?SloppySchleckonds wrote:0 -
The canyon has BB86 as well, however, the 6800 cranks work fine with this and the standard Shimano press fit bb.
Looks ok, but still liking the Canyon over the Kinesis, cheaper too (by a long way when the Canyon includes headset, stem and seatpost).0 -

I've been spending a lot of time on the Rose site recently trying to decide about a cross bike, but as a by product I've got used to their layout. They do have geometry info but it would seem only on the "bike' pages rather than frames.
This should get you what you need, but you might need to click on the frame tab half way down the page - http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/bike/rose-xeon-rs-3000-2014/aid:6691640 -

Nice one, I can see it now. Still thinking the Canyon looks favourite, seems to tick all the boxes!0 -
And the price has gone down to £559, Euro must have weakened further!0
