Look for 1st party winspace Hypers as it may or may not be cheaper. But either way its a good frameset and very popular.

Zebra Posted December 31, 2022 Share 15 hours ago, Frosty said: 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. Keen to learn who the 3 good local builder are, thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etienne_jordaan Posted January 2, 2023 Share Get Dave Mercer to build you a custom frame with Columbus 100 year Centenary tubeset, Columbus Carbon fork. Finish it of with a custom paint job by Jared at BMC. It will be an amazing ride and it will be one of a kind. Not like all the other mass produced tupperware. openmind and PhilipV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted January 2, 2023 Share 1 hour ago, Mamil said: And what.might a 61cm road bike weigh? I don't know if Dave builds barn doors........ Throw on a light carbon fork, some nice carbon wheels and modern groupset and the extra weight will only really matter if you decide to 'race' something under cooked. You're getting old now. Embrace mid pack and ride a better bike Mamil, PhilipV and ChrisF 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
