Always fix something that can be loved again affordably, whatever that is.


In a new frame would you be looking to duplicate the ride of your Allez Pro? Or a more touring type ride experience? 28mm tires wide enough?

edit: For that group , i would be looking Italian frame. Never hurts to replace a bottom bracket, they can be affordable and vintage Italian may mean different threads.

A good 1st choice = DeRosa Pro - mine is SLX - what I call the all-day racer (also heard it called the 'stage race king')
Oversized tubes should make a slightly stiffer frame and paired with good supple tires the ride is great.

Actually there are so many choices, it can only be narrowed by you deciding your preferences.
