WTD: small gravel frameset (or possibly bike)

Posted on
  • Gf would like to join on some rides to places that her Quantum can't take her, and perhaps accompany me on some shorter touring/bikepacking/camping/whatever type trips. Have a 105 group that I can transfer, so frameset preferred, but open to whole bike if necessary. She is around 167cm, so I think looking at small/extra small, depending on geo. Needs to fit 40mm tyres on 700c I guess.

    Max budget for frameset is probably around £600, but preferably a bit less! Thinking for that, I'm probably looking at al frames along along the lines of:

    Cannondale Topstone
    Cube Nuroad
    Canyon Grail
    Bergamont Grandurance
    Orbea Terra

    etc

    Told that all black is preferable with regards to colour, but can be flexible. TIA.

  • Not sure if this will float her boat but I have a 52cm croix de fer frameset (2015)in burnt copper finish.

    edit: i've just checked and it's a 50cm.

  • I'd potentially be interested if the OP isn't! Would you mind sending me a PM with some details and a price if they're not keen?

  • Pic here for reference. Please ignore the Mavics! Fitted purely just to get the frame off the ground!!

  • Planet-x is selling a few Free-ranger framesets on ebay in different colours, under your budget.

    For reference, Im 168cm and I ride a size S Space Chicken, and I love it but its right on point with an 80mm stem. I'd probably size down for her to XS depending on proportions/flexibility.

  • Thanks both, I'll run them by her today!
