New Frame for the Shinomaster.. Help..

[shinomaster]

I want a new frame. The caad 4 is not in style any more with it's flexy 1" carbon steerer tube. Ha ha Alembical!!
I am looking at a Scott CR 1, Six 13, Caad 8, ( Cannondale Joy) Bianchi San Lorenzo, Felt Scandium, or anything else with a 56 top tube and a 73.5 or steeper seat angle..Any thoughts? What about a trek? I would rather ride a Giant TCR than a trek but treks are good bikes right? Even though they might as well sell them at Walmart.
I'd even get a Serotta Ottrott is they cost less than $3000....!!!!!! :banana:

Oh yes, It must weight less than 1000 grams...ha ha

if it would fit I'd buy one of Frankies Colnagos!! Superisimo!

I may never buy new again. There's just so many top quality used frames out there why buy new.

[Serotta PETE]

If you can ride a 56 or 57 with 56TT, I have a frame (frames) for you. Yes they are Serotta (what a shock) and one Specialized E5.

PETE :bike: e-mail me if it works....THey were also posted a few months back for sale. (Market is soft

Shino,
Check out this review....( http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=3001 ) plus you could be the first on your block and you could think of yourself as a product tester.......
You should definitely get a new bike, strip the old Cannodale of all those old parts (give them to Alembical in return for sound advice) and sell that Cannodale frame and that Serotta frame you never ride and that cross bike you don't like and pick up a Vanilla cross bike. All you would need is two bikes a beautiful cross bike and a road bike.

Alembical

p.s. - I can even swing by and pick the old parts from you, you won't even have to worry about shipping or anything....... what a deal.

Needing a steep STA sort of limits your choices in stock bikes...how about a nice shiny new Klein Q-Pro? The "54" size has a 55.7 seat tube, 56.0 top tube, and a 73.5 STA.
