What light compliant steel frame for all day rides to 140-150mm – Page 2 – Bike Forum

hora · 2013-05-28T13:38:26Z

Moon on a stick content possibly.. I know one answer is Cotic Soul but what other answers to the question could there be? Has to be lighter than 5lb. When its 5.5lb+ its becoming 'is it worth it exercise' compared to a light full sus frame? I'd love a Sanderson Life -but they aren't warrantied that high. The Soul possibly isn't but its got a strengthen tapered headset/CEN etc Ragley piglet? (again over 5lb?) Anything else? Alu - would it be too stiff, any good ones? I can't afford a Ti frame.

Cham's aren't [i]that[/i] bad, I've ridden mine on all day Welsh epics, and the following day I could walk, ohhhh at least 4-5 steps easily before having to sit down again 😉

2nd hand Ti456?

That's what I got (original Lynskey one off this here site) and it is rather lovely and very light built up.

Large cotic soul. Ran it for years with Revs spaced to 140, no issues, even on steep climbs. Just so happens I have one for sale too, mucho cheapness mon ami!,
