Road bike frame up to £500

Spooked

Evening,

I am after a new frame after killing my giant. It was a little big after a funky bike fit.

I’m after something that’s stiff and quick for rides up to 100 miles.

Typical rides are two to three hours as fast as I can go.

Preferably new after being stitched up on eBay with a broken frame.

If Planet X the way to go or is there anything else that anyone might suggest as a good option?

Cheers!

PlanetX Pro Carbon. Great value.

Slightly over the price point, but my new colourway Bowman Palace R frameset is on order for June delivery . Bowman have a few frames with a sale price.

I did order a bowman but it arrived with poor paint, welds and a dent in the down tube so it went back unfortunately

Slightly over budget but would certainly let you go as fast as possible:

If you want carbon then the Planet X frame, Dolan Etape or Merlin Cordite would do the job:

Upgrade bikes usually have ex-display kinesis frames on their ebay shop from anywhere between £300 and £500. Good quality Alu, light and stiff. Rim and disc brake options and usually a good range of sizes.

That's a bargain, if it fits then go with that.
