Hi,
I recently broke my frame racing and I'm looking for a replacement but not sure where to start.
I'd really appreciate it if you could suggest some frames I should consider.
Criteria:
-Road race geometry
-Trusted QC and build quality, I'll be riding and racing this fast down mountains and do not want to risk my safety
-Disc brakes, thru axle
-Clearance for 32mm tires
-Takes mechanical groupsets
-Good ride quality - stiff under power, compliant in the saddle
-At least semi-aero
-Under <1000g including small parts, lower is better
-Under $1,500 shipped to the US, but lower is great (not including cockpit)
-I'm a bit flexible on weight, aero, and cost because there's a trade off between the three
Some bikes I've seen and would appreciate opinions on:
- ICAN Flyee
- Seka Exceed
- Long Teng RD301-D
- Speeder SC-R55D, SC-R52D
- TanTan TT-X21
- VeloBuild R-268, R-168
Thank you!
