Hi all, any recommendations for a good first frameset for a first proper road bike? Fairly set on Shimano 105 for the group (at the price it's currently at), and I will look at wheels after the frame. Was thinking aluminium frame with carbon fork, size 59-60 (i'm 6'4", 34" inside leg), although missed out on this a few of weeks ago. Another thing to mention is i'm 100kg, and need to stay at that weight for my other sports. Assuming i'm looking at the second hand market here but any options new? Budget is around £200. Cheers!
Edit: Have looked at the Ribble winter trainers etc, was wondering if there's anything of similar value but maybe of slightly better quality? Aesthetics a secondary concern here...
