Title: Road frames with vertical seatposts
Post by: Takiyaki on October 14, 2022, 09:09:01 PM

I love the look of bikes like the Cervelo P3 and roads here are smooth enough that I think I can deal with the stiffer ride

But the geometry of tri bikes is no go for me. I want roadish reach & stack. Do such bikes exist in the open mold world?

I have more clarity on what I'm looking for now. Original rim brake takes on bikes like the Scott Foil & Cervelo S5. I know there are some straight up knock offs but that's not what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

Is this close to what you might be looking for?

That has some elements but is a little too angular. If that had a vertical seat tube, rounder internal corners in the front triangle and maybe a riser stem I could get on board.

I just edited the OP... any suggestions?
