My new Roadlite frameset arrived today to replace my Specialized Allez that is too small for me. Going to build it up with my current kit and use the Allez only for the commute.

    Looks nice.
    I considered one of their SL Carbon bikes but another offer came along instead.
    Good luck with the build.

    It looks familiar. Except a lot bigger than mine. I am 6' and have size M. How tall are you?
    Mine is waiting for brakes, but the rest is done.

    im 6 ft 4, and i took a bit of a leap of faith with the frame, as its about 30mm bigger in the stack than my current 58 specialized

    Build this weekend all things well, gotta get my Campag Power Torque Cranks removed by the lbs tomorrow. Ill get a frame weight for this size when i get in. It feels fairly similar to my Allez, not that thats been a frame for some years.

    Nealry there, just need to get the chainset on, chain fitted and gears indexed and its ready. It looks nice, if a little big. I might of been better off with a 60 not a 62 but we will see.

    So far so good. I got mine out today, for the first time. It accelerates quicker than the Giant, and I feel less of the smaller bumps in the road. Over the Pavé it was incredibly smooth. It's a pity I had to abandon through injury, but I got as far as realising the stem is too long, and the bars need slamming.
