Yeah was thinking 3-4 k for the bike not just the frame set but wouldn't mind one.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Not 2021 but i bought a 2020 cannondale supersix evo with direct mount rim brakes few months back.1

Interesting - can't find a geometry chart for that - not really an endurance bike man but maybe I should be at my age![Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Look harder or transfer your existing components over.DeVlaeminck said:Yeah was thinking 3-4 k for the bike not just the frame set but wouldn't mind one.

I could though it's s fairly old Ultegra 6800 group and some well used alloy wheels (albeit decent ones) - suppose I could upgrade over time.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

It's not the easiest circle to square but whether you have Di2 or integrated bars isn't going to make the difference to your riding, whereas the frameset will be amazing for ever.0
-
Emonda ALR comes to mind, the framesets have some nice snazzy paintjobs and there'd be plenty of money left over for other components.
The full builds aren't that's exciting TBH and you may not fancy an aluminium bike.

How tall are you? Do you want to buy a Dolan with Campagnolo and Fulcrum wheels?Ben

Here you go!1 -
I have to say it is disappointing how manufacturers are phasing out rim brakes. Despite owning 3 disc brake bikes, my favourite bike is rim braked. Of the disc braked bikes only the MTB and Gravel bike benefit from disc brakes IMO.1

Ribble endurance SL or SLR.0

I got my C64 frame from from Merlin just before Christmas 2019 for £2850. They were well discounted with an extra 10% off. Unfortunately all sold now but bargains can be found.shirley_basso said:

Indeed. The second hand bike for 4k above is a bit of a steal0

Don't say bianchi round these parts0

On the outside chance you're a 56/57cm type of person, I'd be reet on this:

Ultegra groupset for about £1k, leave you with enough out of your £4k for decent wheels, pedals and saddle etc....0 -
Was looking for a new bike for a friend and found SuperSixs (the aero one) with mech. Ultegra at a silly price at All Bikes en France who we have used before and can very recommend.
They have a load of Treks and other stuff if that fliats your boat..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Aren't they disc only?0

This could be worth a look and would fall nicely in budget:

Never heard of Handsling, I wonder if they're one of these companies who do snazzy paint jobs on open mould frames then charge a premium?0 -
Reading between the lines of the hyperbole on their website they are open mould, same as Planet X, Ritte, Ribble, Tifosi, etc.
Very pretty frame and lovely paint job but same old marketing. Bet people fit Hunts to them..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Factor O2 frameset £2650. Rest of build won't be top-notch but should be able to comfortably build up e.g. Ultegra mechanical for sub 4k if you are prepared to DIY.0

Or you could fit something decent to it and hot diggity dawg the budget.pauly69 said:Factor O2 frameset £2650. Rest of build won't be top-notch but should be able to comfortably build up e.g. Ultegra mechanical for sub 4k if you are prepared to DIY.

Chorus is cheaper than I thought, an additional £80 for DM brakes then get some Zonda's, some Zero 100 finishing kit and grab a saddle from a different bike and it wouldn't be much more than 4k for a Factor O2 build.

As soon as more money becomes available then get some Bora's.0 -
That's exactly what i bought for my columbus sl steel bike, from Merlin too.joe_totale-2 said:Chorus is cheaper than I thought, an additional £80 for DM brakes but grab some Zonda's, some Zero 100 finishing kit and grab a saddle from a different bike and it wouldn't be much more than 4k for a Factor O2 build.

Do it. Do it. Do it.
Why on earth would anyone buy Ultegra when for tuppence ha'penny more they could have Chorus?
