at the moment i have
at the moment i have essentially a cube hybrid with a bent frame so i was hoping to swap all components over to a road frame with flat bar and brake set up which will keep cost down ,not sure how viable it is but ive been told should be ok ,wheels are 700 ,deralliuer rear should fit as well as the bb,prob a new seat post and f deralliuer depending on frame tube width ,kinesis bit outside my budget ,i can get ribble for £200,ragley £160 and a scott speedster s30 for £200,just not sure what to go for.
