First build, looking for frame advice

Posted on
  • Hey guys, i've been riding a newly bought fixed Langster for the past 2-3 years and it's about on it's way out / needing an update. I've always wanted to build my own bike so now seems like a good time. I have a budget of around £750 max and am looking for some advice as to what frames are decent for a first build. From what I've read on here the pre-cursa is a decent starter frame? I'm thinking about getting a set of h+plus son formation face with some gatorskins as i'm really into the blacked out wheelsets. Any recommendations for something that would work well with these for a first build?

    Thanks for the help :)

  • Pre Cursa is definitely a good starting point and you won't need to spend anywhere near £750 on it to be happy with it. If that's your budget and that's what you want to spend, may I politely suggest some completely unnecessary HHSB accoutrements including rear disc so you can really enjoy it.

    Another option is the NJS frame route. Traditional steel tubes, tight, aggressive geometry, most with some racing pedigree. NJS Export is where you need to start looking, if you don't already know.
