Your best bike! 54-56cm

Looking for something new and fancy. Complete Road bike, open to the idea of disc brakes and half finished projects

What is your budget;)

This is my best bike:-

Something vaguely practical, I have a 54cm CAAD10 atm not anything too bonkers @Si46

<£2000 @Dawid_Owl

Airbourne Carpe Diem? 54.5 c-t, 55.5cm c-c top tube, was hoping to make it into a lightweight audax/winter racer cum light tourer but it's just too small/short for me.

Currently fitted with Campagnolo 10 speed flat bar shifters, long cage Chorus Record triple c/set (but happy to remove and price accordingly), Record Carbon seatpost, Fizik Rondine saddle, TRP CX9.0 V's, Chorus/Open Pro wheelset (in very good order) plus Easton flat bar/stem. The left/front shifter slips a bit otherwise everything else is bob on and frame is immaculate/no dings, forks are full carbon by Sintema (their 'mud' fork specifically which will take std calipers too).
Frame weight is approx 1500, not sure on forks but you're adding about 700-800g total as a frameset over a mid to high end out and and out racing carbon job if that is important to you.

I use 6700STIs with the TRP 9s on another bike and they are epic, there's clearance for the 37mm Dureme tyres including mudguards (and come fitted) I'd hazard easily over 42mm without so ideal for other uses/gravel bike type thing. The stays are not too long so the handling is pretty good/not too relaxed, really depends on your style/what you intend to do with it.

£865 as is, £800 without the c/set and BB £760 without the Chorus long cage rear d.

BMC GF01 Di2? It's up north though.

Why not spruce the caad10?

Frameset only, so feel free to banish this from your thoughts as a mere irrelevance, but I need to shift my Chesini Speciale frame. Columbus Spirit, 55cm, ex-display, never built up, £600. Also, not disc brakes, so in fact this is probably not helpful to you.

It's one of these, but in a slightly different livery: http://www.chesini.it/eng/bikes/speciale-blk

I'd be interested to see photos!

Not much left to do pal! Full SRAM Red, Chinese Carbon Wheels and decent finishing kit.

Just craving a change!

Will do. In fact, I'll get off my arse and put a proper sales thread together... Cheers.

PM'd

@BirdBrain you got pm

@jvhp has got me very excited about some nice road going steel. Anyone got anything similar?

Seen some lovely bikes and sorely tempted by a couple. Keep them coming!

Custom painted Genesis Volare 853 with Enve fork? Size 54. It's not actually finished yet... It's been hanging up waiting for me tie it up for a while! Can get it finished soon if you're interested though!

Also still got this Parlee Knocking about... 56 TT.
