    I’ve been in the market for a good replacement frameset together my sizing right. Having looked at canyon before, this Roadlite looks like a good buy at £359 at the moment. With a full carbon fork, seatpost, stem and headset, it’s cheaper than most other options. I’m bit in the financial position to buy a full bike at the moment, so a transferring of current equipment is the best option.

    Does anybody ride this frame, Any thoughts? Any other frames I should be looking at? And finally worth the extra £200 for an Al SLX? I like a fast club run, want to do some sportives and have racing aspirations.

    I’m 6 ft 4 as well so if anybody is a similar size, what size did you go for?

    Thanks

    Will it bug you knowing there is 200g extra weight on your frame if you buy the cheaper one?

    Perhaps yes, i think though, as the SLX is out of stock, i may have to go for the Roadlite or wait.

    Yeah that will be an issue
    Yeah that will be an issue for my height, i also dont particular like the look of Kinesis frames if i am honest. Do you think i should go with a better frame for the extra money now? I’m thinking as an investment it might be worth it, not sure though.

    I don’t think you’ll get better than that for the money tbh. If you are considering £200 more for a total budget of 560 quid did you look at the Kinesis Aithein? A really nice option, although I think the largest they do is a 56 which might be an issue for your hight.
