I have a large PX n2a fame, I don't rate it at all, just not my bag. Aka cheap.
Looking for a carbon or ti frame at around 1k. What are my options?

Merry Xmas to all ๐Ÿ™‚ x

What's a bonus?

A normal part of ones remuneration package for ones labour or the encapsulation of everything that is wrong with capitalist society.

What you view it as depends on whether you get one or not.

Thanks for these, will look at the Van Nicholas and canyon in more detail. Are fatbirds a legit company? Anyone used them before?

Fat birds are beyond reproach. First class service.

Fatbirds are great to do business with.

Burls will make you a bespoke Ti frame for a grand. I got a 29er there this year, couldn't be more in love with it.

My advice would be to get something carbon and aero. More aero = free speed right?

Fatbirds are 200m from my parents house (where I am for xmas) and they are definitely real and have been around for about 20 years.
I could predict the usual what's a bonus bleating on this thread.

Druidh - on Fatbirds they only have the 54 and 60.

Although im looking at the Van Nicholas Zephyr on Planet X, its a 54 just comparing sizes. I have a L N2a...

A bit more will get you a Parlee Z5 from Activ Cycles in Corbridge. They've taken delivery of quite a few Z5 framsets (with ENVE forks) and have them heavily reduced. And I mean HEAVILY reduced ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I don't need one but by god I was sorely tempted when I was in there on Friday just because they have them at such a great price!

They won't hang around for long at the price they're selling them at, so be quick!!
