Looking for a compact type 58 road frame
Discs
Mudguards not required
Reasonably close clearance
Alloy or carbon
It's a second bike so something "good value"
Can't find much, and have thought about China but don't know where to start with that one.
Ali baba?
eBay?

    Hong fu bikes are reputable.

    This might fit your needs
    http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/html_produc ... e-287.html

    You will have to get in touch with them via email for a quote. Dont forget to factor in custom duty charges. if i recall i think i paid around £30/£40 on top of £540 for my frameset.

    i have a FM066SL. Done around 1000 miles and had zero problems. i highly recommend them.

    Chinese frames aren't even cheaper than normal frames now...

    The Hong Fu non disc looks a lot like a Cervelo R3
    Pegoretti
    Colnago
    Cervelo
    Campagnolo

    I have a painted HongFu - FM166 disc. Came in at about £460 delivered I seem to remember...

    They don't do an -SL in disc. Just the standard frame. I've built up two 166s now, and three non-disc 066SLs.
