  • Hope this is the right thread but does anyone have any experience of the current carbon Squadra frameset?

    I'm not sure on the build process but are the frame sizes standard (i.e. non-custom)? The published geometry looks bizarre and I'm sure there's a typo in there:

    Those reaches are all over the shop...

    Anyway - good frame for the money? Can I get it in under £2k with Ultegra do you reckon? There's a complete one for sale that looks like it might be right up my street. A bargain if it's your size.

    Very few have the right progressive approach when it comes to that; not a surprise that Condor doesent

  • Ive seen a custom geo Baracchi. they would probably do the same with the squadra , but I would prepare for an extended wait.

  • SRAM... Bleurgh

    @fizzy.bleach I'm three months late to this, however look very carefully at the seat angle.

    The 61cm have a very slack seat angle of 72.5, this is why the reach suddenly got shorter.

    Condor think they designed the geometry well base on the top tube measurement, it also quite likely drawn before the notion of the stack and reach become the de facto choice of getting the right sizes bicycle.

    This is normal in the past, nowadays a lots of manufacturer designed the geometry base on stack and reach (Cannondale actually did this for the 2016 model), and there's no excuse for manufacturer to ignore the poorly fitted bicycles nowadays.
