For sale - 56cm Cielo Sportif Classic f&f (Grey)

Hi.Im a 58 / 60cm.

I’m looking for a steel frameset though - I don’t do carbon forks.

Gunnar Roadie and Sport look interesting. I’ve emailed them to see if they will ship.

Just on the comments on the last page, the dollar was so shit that actually, a custom bike was/is cheaper than a Cielo was. Any of the many great U.K. builders can do the same thing for the same or less $$$

I agree with you.I also agree that things should be kept local wherever possible. Saying that I have seen lots of pretty poorly finished/made custom frames.

The point mainly was that unless you pay a lot over £1000 for a steel frame it won't be all that nice.
Which didn't used to be the case.

Had a Roadie for years. Lovely bike. Kinda wish I didn't sell it.

I would be interested in the salsa, do tell us more...

I’ve nothing against uk builders. I’ve had a few things custom made over the years by very skilled people (a suit, an engagement ring etc). In each case the work was great, but I was usually disappointed that the end result didn’t quite match what I had in mind. You don’t have that worry from a production frame.
