Inexpensive frame for a build-up?
I'm thinking I want to consider aluminum (no flaming please), compact geom. Anybody have any frame suggestions? Is a decent (alum.) build-up still going to cost me $600+ by the time I'm finished?
Thanks!:thumb: |

I just bought a Leader TR721 (alum frame)...i was very skeptical at the price of $159, but this frame is AWESOME. its super light and stiff and handles my large (260) body weight well. They also threw in a carbon road fork for $40 (!) and a nice threadless headset for another $80. The fork is sweet, full carbon with alum crown and its brake hole fit my cannondale front brake and 700c wheels perfectly. Really a nice ride. They claim their prices are low because they are trying to break into the market and establish a rep etc....until it wrongs me tho, im an advocate
just my .02 |
