[Closed] Cheap road frame recommendations

the £100-150 ones on ribble, on-one etc and am just wondering if they're totally rubbish.

The £95 Ribble Winter/audax frame would be fine

I've got the MKI version of this:
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FRPXSLTAV2/planet_x_team_alu_frame_mk2

very happy with it - who needs carbon fibre!

Planet x alu or something from one of the cheap european sellers like bike-discount/rose/action sports etc.

as above. the racelights are nice enough training/winter frames and cheap too.

A Giant OCR/TCR off Ebay would do the trick .. though I think a new Ribble or Planet X would be worth the extra few quid for a warranty and shiney newness feeling 🙂

I've been looking for something similar myself.

Seen [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k326/a58943/r1-frame-white.html ]this for £80 ish[/url] and [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k326/a58937/rps-frame-white.html ]this for £120 ish[/url] but not much useful info on the site.

I think I might email them and ask about weights etc.

Just ordered that R1 one so will let you know what its like! 😯

I'd recommend the Dolan Prefissio. Bought one as a winter trainer and I'm really impressed with the finish and the ride is superb for an alloy frame - it really doesn't feel uncomfortable compared to my best carbon roadframe which says a lot.

The Ribbles are rough-as-**** finish-wise and you're limited to that awful blue finish with crappy vinyl graphics (Dolan's are printed/painted).

Thanks for all the replies, there seems to be a lot out there for the part time roadie and at sensible prices.
Right now, do the kids need food this week....?

This. I really like mine, and whilst not the lightest it's a good bike!

If this is your size then it could be a bargain! Plus an extra 10% of with Fathers Day code (DAD10)
