Looks liek I'll have time over the summer to do a lot more biking, and thinking a road bike might be part of that plan.

Very, very taken with the Ritchey Logic frame, but it's a long, long time since I've had a road bike, and I've never built one.

If I picked up the logic frame/forks from that nice Bikemonger chap, I guess a groupset is a nice place to start - what's good from the two below? (I'm assuming these are the eqivalent of SLX)

After that, I'd need some decent value bars, stem, post, and wheels - any recommendations?

(And yes, I realise it's a spendy frame, and I should probably get a Canyon or something else sensible. But I'd like to dream a little before I get sensible)

Why not buy a second hand road bike initially to see how much you do like it?

Quite by chance I've got one for sale... 😉
