Marius Posted June 11, 2008 Share I'm currently on a Merrida HFS3000D which is an awesome frame. I am contemplating going to a carbon frame. I weigh about 108kg's though' date=' should I, or shouldn't I?[/quote'] Personally I'm very sceptic about the carbon frames' durability. I saw two broken frames at this year's Epic - both carbon! Probably broken cuz some yuppy / ex Rugby Player / Celeb bought the most expensive bike he could find or btter yet got on sponcered and has no idee have to ride the damn bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 X 2 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Why don't you just get a light alu frame like a BMC or Trek and fit it with a nice groupset and those wheels that you mentioned you already have. It won't be much heavier than a carbon frame My current bike weighs at about 10.8kg. You might come in a little bit lighter than that, but then again 700/800gr won't make a difference with your body weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki Posted June 12, 2008 Share forget the caron frame and just lose the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
