Sub 1000g frames
I'm about to start my next build. Looking for a frame to start. Something cheap. Something less than 1000g. I'm looking at the Cinelli Pro Estrada, but that is obviously not cheap. So cheap = relative to a 2,500 dollar frame - maybe half that would be good. Help me get the juices flowing.

Throw the stick!!!!
I just built up an older Fuji SL1, the C10 frameset, a couple of months ago. Frame weighed in at 880 grams. If you are interested in a used frame you could probably find one for $800 or less.

Pedal Force QS3
I've had one over a year and really like it. Only thing I don't like is BB30. I'd use the adapter for a standard BB if I didn't have a BB30 crank....

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll probably be picking up a used frame, but just wanted to make sure there weren't any other brands out there besides the big ones that I should be looking at. The Pedal Force frames look good, and I'm definitely going to keep looking at those.

He drop me
Neo Hyper or Neo Exile Ultimate. My Neo Exile is 3 yrs old now and was 940g...the new frames are closer to 900g.
I really love my Neo and wish I hadn't messed my back up thus forcing me to a more upright position..Neo doesn't make a frame like the Synapse or Roubaix.
Here's the Hyper
