Hi folks,

Just testing the water here. I'm toying with the idea of building my very first cx bike. I generally find that road frames around 57cm are best for me. Although the ones I have do range from 56 to 60.
Should I look for a frameset that is the same size, or allow a little for crown jewels clearance?
Interested to know what you may have for sale, too. Canti only please.
Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

My Ti Van Tuyl (sprayed as a Caygill) might suit you.
After £370 for frame and forks. It's approx 56 square - you generally want to size down a little on CX bikes.

Frame is in good nick - some paint has been removed where the front mech attaches along with some cable rub in places and the headset could do with new bearings - I was planning on getting it blasted back to raw Ti but never got round to it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
