Wicked_C Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Hi All <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I am 1.85 and i am riding a 54cm fuji team pro frame but find it a bit cramped, there is two options 1. buy another frame, i am looking at a carbon wheeler route 71 (tpo of the range 2007) size 56 or 58cm 2. looking at the possiblity of a 07 Gaint https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=63597&KW=giant+Carbon and selling my fuji And other idea? Thanks
Newest Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 Hi is your Fuji frame still for sale and how much?
Eugene Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 For some reason, i have this suspicion that the Wheeler frame is aluminium wrapped in carbon. I'm not too sure though, but do your homework before buying it.
Bat-ass Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 the giant all the way!!!!but that giant is not an 07 model... its either 05 or 06... but either way carbon giants are tops!!
101SCC Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Alu, find a decent CAAD Cannondale and you will never look back. Light, Rigid and Great Geometry for your height.
Tankman Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 between those two... you will be much happier deep down with the giant! wheeler who?
Aquatic Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 If its the black 07 model wheeler frame you talking about,i would double check,i remember many guys said it was flexing alot,the 08 red/white is a huge improvement
Wicked_C Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Decided not to go for the Wheeler but managed to get a Felt FC carbon frame.
Christie Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Agree on the alu Cannondale CAAD9 frame. SUPER
JPW# Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Cannondale super expensive too! , but then again they will outlast most other cheaper brands.
101SCC Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 JPW#, not as expensive as you would think. Built a 6.7kg Caad9 Super Record Shamal Ultra for R35,000.00. That's the same price as a Super6 Hi Mod Frame! For 2010 CAAD9 comes with a BB30 Bottom Bracket, so for a bit more you can get a SI SL Hollowgram Crank, Drop the weight to under 6.6kg and you in for R40,000.00! Add some EastonSLX EC90 wheels and you are +- 6.2kg at R42,000.00, plus it's rigid as hell. New Bianchi advertised at 110,000.00! Almost 3 CAAD9's for one Bianchi...
