I'm a big Pinarello fan so I would recommend the Galileo or Marvel (discontinued, but still around). Well made, not super light but stiff and fast.Jcyclist said:Time for a new frame
I would have to rank the Cervelo Soloist Team very highly. Unfortunately I just had to sell mine but this frame lives up to its claims.Jcyclist said:Time for a new frame

if that's the case then this bike should be on your short list. check out http://www.zedsport.com/pages/road/superlight_team.htmJcyclist said:under 700

A friend of mine is riding this and likes it better than his full carbon Look. Great price for a stiff aluminum frame.
I just bought a BMC Streefire, and the US rec. retail is $725. Includes post and headsetJcyclist said:under 700
yeah, good frames. I have a Proxima (Basically the same frame as the Xperience), which is fantastic, but I ride like a duck, and my heels kept whacking the chainstays. Also, I found the Columbus Link a little rough on the Cinelli; and the Easton EC70 was a little flexy for the BMC, so I swapped themjrstevens said:http://www.gvhbikes.com/
Check out the Cinelli Experience, a full Alu frame with carbon fork and headset for 700 bones available from a reputable US dealer in Oregon. I'll likely purchase one of these 2 framesets for next year's race season.
I agree. Go BMC, their innovation and value are extremely hard to beat.531Aussie said:I just bought a BMC Streefire, and the US rec. retail is $725. Includes post and headset
You're doing a great job on advocating BMC bikes .. now I want one!bobbyOCR said:I agree. Go BMC, their innovation and value are extremely hard to beat.
If you get a chance to see the streetfire (and any other model), you will see they choose engineering instead of plain welding tubes together. Both sides of the stays on the streetfire are one piece. The drive side stays are welded to the non-drive side stays at the brake bridge and both are welded at the bb. This saves something like 6 welds, increasing strength and stiffness.Strid said:You're doing a great job on advocating BMC bikes .. now I want one!
(They just seem abit pricey, but that is the downside with quality, I guess. )
I was going to say the same thing...bobbyOCR said:(Maybe I show a little bias......)
