New road bike frame

[Will Spin]

It's getting to that time where I feel a new bike build coming on. I'd buy a whole bike, but I seem to have a wheel or two that I could use and a fairly new Ultegra group set on an old frame. I'm looking for aluminium or carbon frame recommendations. Audax or sportive type but I don't need to fit mudguards. Any suggestions? I don't think I could really justify paying more than say £700.

Hmmmm possibly. Don't really have any brand preferences. I've got a Dolan, which I built up myself and I like the frame, however if I got another one no one in my bike club would notice the new bike.

Get something unusual then if you're trying to impress the club..or titanium

How about a second hand Condor frame from eBay? Don't see many around especially if outside London

Way too modern for me but people at work have bought Hong Fu and been very happy.....

Sure you don't mean Kung Fu Shaun?

Don't see too many of these outside London as well.

Does that mean that the front and back wheels are the same size?

This looks a bargain
