Help! Cracked Frame...

[Toks]

So thats what that clicking noise was?...Ok I ain't gonna spend more than £500 on a new one simply because I know that I won't look after it. I know a little bit about training, but sod all about bikes. Where and what should I be looking at guys? Thanks Toks

PS Before anyone asks Mosquito's do high end Titanium jobs and even with the sumptuous discount they offer I wouldn't make it and I hate monthly payments

Hi Toks,

Evans have got a Specialized S-Works E5 2006 frame for £500.
Probably won't get a much better race frame than that for that price.

Not sexy or cool but have you thought about looking at Ribble. You'd get a good frame for that money from them. Possibly even carbon it you are that way inclined.

[Toks]

Cheers guys. Ok Evans thanks Steve

[Andrew G]

Predictable from me Toks, but for that money I'll doth my titfer to my GB which is a rebadged Monoc (£499) - rides real nice . Alu main triangle, carbon rear end. Very light, huge bottom bracket junction (Power!).

That said you'd be hard pushed to beat the s-works deal.

Toks ya tightwad!

Must be that awesome power you are unleashing

All that money you have saved on kit!- splash out on a new frame

[Marek]

Go for the Ribble Toks, you will get more for your money. Evans are allegedly a bunch of rip off merchants.

Cheers

Marek....

p.s. Have you spoken with Phil B, I would check that he hasn't got something hidden away out back.

[Ian A4size]

Have you thought about the ride to work scheme?

[Steve B]

Toks, two more for you,

Kinesis Racelight KiC2 from Chain Reaction Cycles £449
Dolan Cs frame 2007 from Parker International £450

Still think Specialized S Works is best deal.

Naturally, you should go for the Ribble.
Where else can you get a Dedacciai SC61.10A frame that weighs 1050g for under £300 ?

Thanks everyone I'll keep ya posted. Ian mate there are some beautiful bikes and frames out there and one day when I'm big and responsible I'll really treat myself. All i need now is a nice frame and bits to go with my brand new Kysrium SL's. Being a skinny so and so I'm not that fussed about weight. Carbon scares me a bit though - what if I crash?

If you crash that's why you have insurance...
