Framesets with direct mount brakes

Posts: 1
I have a Fuji Transonic 2.9 2017 56cm but want to replace the frameset as it has a cracked fork and some damage to the frame. My problem is that the brakes are direct mount calipers which very few framesets seem to have. Can anyone advise on frames that have direct mount and similar spec, within about a £1000-£1500 budget?

The Trek Emonda ALR is direct mount brakes and the frameset is a wonderful purple colour. It's actually under your budget and you may be thinking of carbon but a few people I know have them and are big fans of them.
CAAD 13 is another option, I have a disc brake one and it's a great bike to ride although the welds are more obvious which may put some people off.0 -
Why limit the choice when you could get new calipers for 100 quid?0

Latest specialized tarmac model has direct mount rim brakes.

2018/2019 Tarmac has direct mount as above. Anything after 2019 is disc only0

That's true - even though the tarmac page has a big picture of a rim brake bikedannbodge said:2018/2019 Tarmac has direct mount as above. Anything after 2019 is disc only

Merida Reacto pre disc if you can find a stockist with one.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

There's a 10% off code floating around too.
They've also got a scultura but I don't know about the brake mounts on it.0 -
Yes, direct mount brakes. The 9000 E is up at the top of the range. The Scultura is standard mount brakes and a more relaxed geometry.thistle_(mbnw) said:
