If I'm looking for a new road frame, is getting an TT frame just plain stupid?
My logic is that they often seem to be a good deal. But will they just be too aggressive for day long summer rides?
Some manufacturers like kestral do TT/ road crossover bikes. But generally the fit and ride qualities are not ideal for general road riding.
The idea you posted in the current projects thread was better. Go with some quality alu. Preferably a complete bike for value for money. But as a fair few people do the buy alu bike - upgrade the carbon frame route. There does seem to be a lot quality used alu frames on EBay etc.
