carbon frame

Upgrading to a carbon frame

im thinking of upgrading my aluminium frame for carbon.

ive got a decent group set and wheels so not looking for a complete bike. got about £1000 to spend.

from internet searches ive found Ribble, Planet X, Starley and Condor all sell frames within budget... but are they any good? are there any other frames worth looking at? Is it worth looking at used frames?

thanks for any help!

Reels of thread are spinning around one another in a miniature maypole dance. Follow the threads along and you see that what’s chugging off the top of the pole, millimetre by millimetre, is one continuous tube of carbon fibre, flattened through a couple of rollers. This is one of the things that makes a Time frame different.

It’s all coming together. The Viner Maxima RS road bike that we’ll eventually be reviewing on road.cc, that is. The made-to-measure carbon frame has just been crafted in Italy and we’re getting pretty excited about slinging a leg over the finished bike.
