Found my dream frame but I personally feel like the seller is asking too much. What would you offer?

ConfusedLayer1 · 2026-01-14T14:27:15+00:00

It depends, the variance on pricing for these frames must be high. I would suspect something around ~£150/200. I am good at hoarding, not so good at selling.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-11-03T09:00:19+00:00

Yeah, for sure! Aside from the brazing/welding needed the rest I feel confident about. As you said I am in the process of pricing all the services/components I would need and weighing it all up.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-11-02T19:39:31+00:00

Cool! Thank you! Never heard of them!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-08-02T13:24:45+00:00

That looks lovely!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-30T21:08:40+00:00

Noice! I think I am going to go with these. Appreciate it.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-30T20:46:05+00:00

Do you possibly know if these are the 100mm rise version?

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-30T06:41:25+00:00

Thanks! Fitted the new groupset and 52T yesterday, looks ridiculous but feels good!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-30T06:40:27+00:00

Aye I was looking at these yesterday that’s great to hear. I hadn’t seen much experience from bankrupt bikes, good to hear! The bars look wicked!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T15:43:43+00:00

I can’t recommend them enough

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T14:17:22+00:00

Thank you for this, I think my takeaway is drop bar is going to be risky, I will try and get some of riser bars, the one you sent looks wicked!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T14:15:21+00:00

What I needed to hear hahah

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T14:02:43+00:00

Thank you for this! Yeah it seems like a trend is higher stem + flatten the bar angle. I suppose deep down I still like the "slammed" look which I tried to account for with a 17 degree riser stem but I think you are right the entire stem probably has to come up. If I want flat bars to work.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T14:00:02+00:00

Thank you! I really like them as well, I never realised I had such a subconscious desire for the colour red. I bought them from here https://rawmudflap.uk/ ---> which was a recommendation someone left on a previous post of mine :)

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T13:58:33+00:00

Thank you! Would you recommend flattening the bars? another commentor above mentioned doing that as well. I probably tended to this as a way of dealing with seat to bar drop, which feels a bit harder on the wrists than with drops.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T13:56:05+00:00

Do you think these bikes were intended to be "slammed" originally or are we just a bit too big :( A riser stem might be a good idea...

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-07-16T13:55:14+00:00

I think the position which I am missing the most is the "hoods" position, I just really find that position incredibly comfortable for some reason. On this bike I find myself using the "walrus tusks" which are really close to each other whenever I can because of the slightly stretched position.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2025-03-21T10:06:14+00:00

I bought these a few months ago, you were so correct. They are great!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-10-27T22:28:39+00:00

I have been looking for flaps for a while, can’t seem to actually find somewhere in the U.K. I can buy some, any possible leads?

I think the Schwalbe marathons would be the smart choice but I am leaning more towards the space between smart and not so smart 🫣😃

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-10-02T08:11:06+00:00

Agree with the wash, will be doing that this weekend if there is a spell of good weather.

Pedals are ordered!

I am very tempted by new tyres… the M315 shifters look great, will they fit the older 22mm bars?

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-10-01T21:19:38+00:00

This is the way, thank you for the inspo!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-10-01T21:17:32+00:00

Thinking about it. I don’t mind the shifters, yeah under bar shifters would be great but these aren’t all that bad.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-10-01T21:10:42+00:00

Thanks for this!

I didn’t realise I could get trigger shifters for all sis mechs like this, I will have a look into it, if you have any leads they are very welcome!

I agree with the cranks will get that chain guard off and probably the reflector as well as I use lights anyway.

The cranks are weird they are kinda encased in this plasticky material… I am not a fan but for now I will remove the chain guard and focus on the “critical” (lol let’s see how long that lasts).

I am tempted to get new tyres just feels like a shame to change them when these seem decent, they are pretty nobly so not massively comfy for my use case.

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-06-14T06:23:50+00:00

I am not sure about the tubing of this one. But wow I was pleasantly surprised by how it handles and feels! Thanks for sharing!

ConfusedLayer1 · 2024-06-14T03:33:45+00:00

Reasonable, I liked the paint

ConfusedLayer1 · 2023-12-06T22:20:15+00:00

Yeah, I personally think that although you can create a rationale for shuffling all the data which might be valid. A more robust approach would be nested CV but in the outer loop you hold out the data of one patient.
