He's on my old frame, a 49cm Scott CR1. It doesn't fit him well, top tube is too short, and the headtube is rather short at 110mm. He'd most likely be comfortable on a 52cm.

He's continually amazed that his bike is as light as it is, so I'd like to replace it with something carbon, but he really needs more headtube height because he has some 50mm-ish of spacers.

I looked at the Domane and Roubaix, but as framesets, they're $3k! I was hoping more like a $1k frameset at most.

He's 62 this year.

Any leads?

Pedal Force? Decent frames for $750-900

search for roubaix 52 and you get whole-bike auctions starting at 1200 or so., plus a couple of frames for under $1K
