looking for a new frame !
Well I am giving my frame to my little brother so we can both ride fixed this summer and because the frame suites him better
I have a budget of maximum 300$ I would like something light Steel or aluminium doesn't mater I don't need racks or anything related to a commuter but I use my bike to commute bb English standard threading Frame size would be between 56 and 58 I hope you can help me find something that would fit my needs |
in before Kilo TT,
but yea Kilo TT |
what reputable online shop would carry kilo tt frames (only frame and forks)
And whats wrong with the leader bikes? |
Is your budget for frame + fork $300 or just the frame. I don't think the Kilo is your best option if you're building one from the frame up. The kilo is only popular because it's a solid complete, not a remarkable frame. A lot of people on here have recently bought the Leader 722TS which looks like a pretty sweet frame. There have been some nice looking builds with them. You could get a 722TS frame and a chrome track fork for $300 from retro-gression.com
|
Leader is a great way to go if your maximum price for just the frame is $300
|
Well my budget is 300 for both but it could be stretched to 350, what about the new 722 and how different is it from the 722ts ?

I'm in a similar boat here. While you can get a 722TS and a fork from Scrod for about $300, this doesn't factor in shipping.
|
what's everyone's take on the 722's rear dropouts?
|
if 300 was my max for the Frame AND fork I would buy a leader 722 / FSA headset and s803 or s805 fork
if I was a little taller it'd be that khaki green soma rush for $260 (59cm only) |
Another question popped in my head I live in a city with ****ty road where potholes are usal is the carbon fork weaker in term of durability then the steel fork or it's ok for road use?
|
You'll be fine.
|
coghouse has the black friday deals up again as a holiday/end of year sale so the 722ts frame and fork are at 199 before shipping, that's quite the deal for 25 more you can get a carbon fork
|
Holy **** those coghouse deals are good. And shipping is unusually cheap.
I am very, very tempted. If only coghouse wasn't so sketchy. |
my frame arrived well packed and with no issues from the coghouse black friday sale (sorry scrod)
