What new road bike frame for 40k

[Mamil]

If you had 40k for a road bike frame and wanted it to be new what would you buy?

[Arrie]

what are the options? finding new frames in a specific size is usually not easy.

Maybe a Bianchi Aria:

Would depend on what your requirements are. Aero, climbing bike, endurance, all rounder etc etc. Also different brands different geometry.

I'd like something that'll make me look good! Endurance is probably the right way to go for my body but my spirit says all out race bike

Would get a custom frame; made to size.

a Tad confusing. If you say 40K for the frame, what about the rest of the bike. Disc or rim, the list goes on and on, and price tags too...

Got all that ... Groupset,  disc wheels etc

... Playing with idea of just swapping out the frame

If it were me, I’d probably go for something Gravel-ish, woth some generous tyre clearance. This is available for $1599 (frame, fork and headset).

 

If not that, then probably a Ti-frame, so spoilt for choice with three good local builders. Luckily I’m not in the market, so don’t have to think too hard.

Not many brands sell frame only options... 

 

Get @Furbz in here. He'll be able to advise

What groupset are you planning on using ?
