Hi guys

I have a 10 speed Cinelli Experience 2012 with various upgrades (wheels, crank, brakes, seat etc)

I have been thinking about upgrading, but in order to save money initially I have thought about buying a dearer frame (and fork) and adding my current kit to the said frame with the intention of upgrading group sets in the future. I have been looking at the Canyon Endurance CF Frameset or Pinarello Marvel 30.12 Think 2 Frameset 2014.

My question is, can I transfer my kit - wheels, group set, saddle, handle bars across? are all bikes the same i.e the connections for rear derailleur the hole where the crank fits through?

Thanks

Nick

    I agree with the 'upgrade wheels first' advice. You will have a pretty capable frame in what you already have.

    I'd go further and say that my preferred upgrade route would be as follows:
      Better wheels Better groupset Better pedals, bars, stem & saddle Better frame and seatpin to match (if not included) Build newer components onto new frame Rebuild previous bike with original components as extra bike Go back to the beginning. :wink:
