You've got/want the wheels now you can have (it looks nice) the frame https://cyclingtips.com/2021/03/enve-gets-into-the-frame-business-with-new-ultra-premium-custom-road/
Someone mentioned about Shimano frames recently - wonder if this could be a future trend? A Shimano or SRAM bike with their components and a team riding them.

    There's going to be some very excited dentists and consultants out there.

    For everyone else, move along, nothing to see here.

    US$7,000. Frame only.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    It is a custom made frame.

    Kinda important to mention.

    no, not really. a bastion is custom made, not so bland and 500 Franklins cheaper.

    Sarto. Cheaper. Not bland. Parlee. Etc.
    its still blandola bland.

    kinda bland with a helping of bland.

    It looks pretty much like a bike - not a fan of matching the stem and seat post to the frame but I'm assuming they can do those in plain black.

    If money was no object and I liked the idea of custom in the absence of some killer reviews I'd probably still go for a company with a pedigree of producing frames.

    I'd go with a company with a pedigree of not building such a bland frame.

    All the top end frames look interchangeable currently, I guess this is the wind tunnel winning design!
  • DeVlaeminckDeVlaeminck Posts: 8,686
    Exactly - it's a modern bike - drop seat stays, slightly sloping top tube, disc brakes - apart from the odd one like those 3T bikes that came out they pretty much all look the same but for the paint.
