I already have a 2013 giant defy 0 carbon bike but im looking to replace this with something with a similar geometry. Having just ordered a sram force 12 speed etap groupset im looking for a new frameset. I was very keen on the ribble endurance sl but it seems its a lot more aggressive than the defy. Obvious choice would be a new defy but they only have disc braked defys in their range and i want a rim brake frame.
I would prefer an english thread bottom bracket also, either direct mount ir normal rim brakes. And obviously something with a decent stack and not a massive reach. My giant defy has a 390 reach and a 604 stack so something similar to that if possible.
Open to any suggestions or insiration. An overhaul of my defy may be on the table but tbh i fancy something new.

Hit up Planet X and either grab their Ti rim brake frame or the steel one, the Holdsworth looks a good deal to me for a Columbus Spirit tubing frame. Either material is ideal for an endurance build.

OK, well light summer carbon road bikes don't ever really come with a threaded bottom bracket.
There's the new Emonda but that's disc brake only.
IMO unless you want something more aggressive and aero I'd stick with your Defy.0 -
The ribble endurance sl does have a threadded bb. Although i would prefer that i would tske suggestions without and fit a converter for threaded bb if possible0

Have you looked at the Ribble R872, which appears to have a more relaxed geometry?0
