So I'm still bikeless. Had a two week epic with Insurance company...insisting I bought an OTP from Wheelies, wouldn't give me cash for building my own. Sorted now, so ready to go, well not quite...
I wanted a BLB frame in that lovely white colour in 49cm (or indeed any size 52cm or less). But they've been out of any stock for past month or so.
However Cavendish has a 50cm IRO Mark V in black, which is equally good, and available now.
Trouble is I like the badgeless, braze-on free lines of the BLB frame, but there just seems to be no idea of when I'll get one.
Public transport is doing my nut and kinda tempted to stop being so picky and go with the branded frame with superficial braze-ons and start building....
But then again, isn't the point of a custom build getting it spot on?
Any advice? Anyone know of any super clean small frames going for under £250?
