New Frame Required

silly · 2011-03-15T13:14:41+00:00

Just discovered a small crack in the headtube of my PlanetX Sportive Ti :''( Now it needs to go back to them and probably off to Lynksey in the US to be repaired. That now means I need to look for a replacement frame to keep me going while I wait for it to come back, especially as I'm doing the hampshire hill hundred and etape caledonia (thanks road.cc for that) in a month and a half. Anyone got any good recommendations for an off the peg frame for sportives? I'm a fairly chunky guy, so need something that won't flex too much when I put the power down, but is comfortable enough for a 6hr+ ride. Budget of about £1000 Not much to ask really ;)

blimey, for a grand you’ve got plenty of options.. ribble/planet x etc do carbon ‘sportive’ frame for under £500 save the other 500 for something else (wheeels?) job done.

personally i would go for an enigma ‘eclipse’ if i had a grand, or a mercian, or a argon 18, or etc etc etc 😀
