I am a fan of Ti, but open to CF. Would just like the weight to be reasonable as I draft behind turtles on climbs.
Electronic shifting preferred and I already have a good carbon wheelset to go on this, so the wheels that come with it will be for back-up.
Budget is $8K max, total... so, opinions please?
I am 62 and am trying to get back to a 17mph average by spring when I've signed up to do a 100 mile ride. TIA
Great budget anything i mean anything of any material in that budget will b e great. Custom frame of any material can be built.
Go crazy. Nice steel custom built plus paint.
I am jealous
