soooooo...I know what you're going to say...however..anyone seen any good deals on rim brake road frames? Anyone?? Bueller??? I'm looking..but..
Yeah I'm looking around..I was hoping I'd find some motivated sellers..but not much to be had so far. When I was in the business we didn't typically have a lot of frames on hand. Precisely because nobody buys them much... So it's hit and miss..I don’t know how long has this disc brake business had encroached on the road frames. Perhaps you can find some left over rim brake frames in some local shop? They would be really motivated to move it.
Yeah I already have the parts..and I don't really want to get into the whole used box of parts lying around thing. I might be able to pull something off but with so many inconsistencies in part sizes I may end up having to buy a whole new bunch of parts to be able to render the leftover frame saleable. So I'm trying not to go down that road right now..Why not a whole used bike and then swap out parts as needed?
Want an endurance or race frame? Carbon, aluminum, other?
A couple of carbon endurance bikes in 48cm in my area look good... They are asking for way too much (over what you're budgeting), but they haven't moved for over a month.

Sorry, I didn’t realize you want frame only. Should have read the post with more care.Yeah I'm looking around..I was hoping I'd find some motivated sellers..but not much to be had so far.

Like I say..hoping someone has got some rim brake frames they're getting nervous about. We did have some swap frames around but it was a pretty rare thing. We occasionally got Giant frames in but you can't typically buy those retail. We'll see.. Fingers crossed.Sorry, I didn’t realize you want frame only. Should have read the post with more care.
But you've been “in the business”. So you know bare frame is typically only for higher end frames. Middle to low end frames don't exist as bare frames. They’re typically sold as a complete bikes.
Wow. I haven't seen one of them in years.How about NOS?

(I'm secretly hoping Ron has a miniature Moots he's willing to let go for $200....) Or that TonyS will have a 63cm frame and I can say no thanks..
