Stall_Gear Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 So I have a personal preference for riding steel just cos... But there seems to be a severe shortage of available options - and none locally for affordable modern road frames (ie vertical dropouts, 1 1/8 steerer forks)... These are the 2 options I've found online... Any others / local? Holdsworth EBay / China:
Psyrax Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 You had a look at Francois du Toit's frames? If he is still building.

Stall_Gear Posted December 6, 2017 Author Posted December 6, 2017 The Mercer's are beautiful and amazing bikes, but unfortunately don't fit into the affordable bracket! (Likewise any custom frames?)

shaper Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Some steel frames not too expensive https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/frames?gclid=CjwKCAiAx57RBRBkEiwA8yZdUGauVOquWBMFdwn1KrsUGEqMzAGh5HdvMGOvmPRBzmF_WNwgMupFshoCwE4QAvD_BwE https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/bikes/road-bikes/?material%5B0%5D=Steel http://www.merciancycles.co.uk/product-category/frames/
HdB Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 I'm interested in what you find. Been eyeing one of these, https://rookcycles.com/, though my n+1 will have to wait a while.
Stall_Gear Posted December 7, 2017 Author Posted December 7, 2017 I'm interested in what you find. Been eyeing one of these, https://rookcycles.com/, though my n+1 will have to wait a while.I Love what the guys at Rook are doing... but unfortunately I already have a steel fixie frame in the garage that I love. I'm looking for a geared bike to build, which seem really scarce compared to fixed frames!
