Hey folks, long time. Couple of bike-related questions... as I finally approach a time when I can ride outside again (had covid, developed DVT, had to go on blood thinners and was restricted to trainer riding per my doc since October bla bla bla), I'm thinking it might finally be time to buy myself a new bike. The Madone is going on 9 years old and might get retired to permanent trainer duty.
That said, I am only interested in rim brake bikes and it seems like every major manufacturer has decided to stop selling rim brake models... do any big makers still sell road-oriented bikes with rim brakes/105-level components? Don't mind so much if it's aluminum vs carbon.
The other option would be buying a pristine BH Ultralight frame from a teammate and building it up... If I do that, where's the cheapest place to buy a complete group these days? Ribble?
