Title: Community Recommendations - Bang for a Buck
Post by: Spongel on July 18, 2026, 04:32:08 AM

Hello Guys,

since I have built my FM336 Gravel I cant hold still and need a road bike. The problem ist that I dont have a good overview of the available manufacturers and frames out there.
My target build should be usable for road races, triathlons (olympic and short distance - so no need for TT), sportive fast riding after work.

I found some pre built bikes from seraph. I like the TT-X68 and TT-X71 for an incredible price.. I mean below 1k/1.5k for a full carbon bike and electronic shifting is crazy good. Mondince also offered me the FM126 Frame for 450€ when I promote their website.

But I am really curious what are the communitys favorite frames for my use case?

At that price I would go for the mondince. If you go 1x, you can get Ltwoo eGR groupset for 350-400€, a set of tagoola wheels for 600,  that’s a solid bike.

Do some research on Twitter road bikes.  Used to be a great value versus component selections, and weight.
