£570 according to that, but I had a bunch of stuff and got a bunch of bargains thanks mostly to the mighty forum.

Think it’s hi-mod. Tejvan (former national champ) build his bike around a Trek Emonda.

Going full carbon rims and tubs this year so should get it down to 4.9kg or some such nonsense.

Cool, thanks. I want to build to get a better mechanical knowledge and your project looked like fun.
I was out bid last minute yesterday for a Hi-mod frameset, £550 it sold for. Thoughts on that price?

You got a himod f+f for £100? wow

It was crashed

Any idea how one might get hold of an insurance write off? Besides from the rider.

Controversial

I know I know.
I had also got all excited till £1500!!

Hah so did I. Although I was going to rag it until the end of the season as a crit bike too.

There is one on eBay in the colour way I like wants £1700 for I think a 2012 bike.
Same frame sold for £550 yesterday!

I happened upon goats and noticed they have very long tails. What are these?



Sheep?  


^ I was thinking the same.. The face looks like a sheep IMO..  


Those are hair sheep.


Ok, I was wondering that too. I guess the person who wrote the title simply didn't know the difference!


Yep, sheep

Sometimes hard to tell the difference.  

Difficult. They should be destroyed or returned to the insurers but i suspect a fair few end up on eBay as ‘used’.

CAAD10 might be a good budget option? Plenty stiff and light enough I’d have thought? Also a bit easier to spot if it has been in a big ‘incident’.

James Lowden (also big winner) rode / maybe still rides a Planet X nano/super/ultra light road frameset. Sure they can be had cheap if you can find one. I did see a lot of super sixes at races last year. I also read somewhere that it was the stiffest frame tested in a big round up some time ago.

Good additions to the list.
I’ve currently been looking for,
Felt F series, Supersix, Tarmac and canyon ultimate.
I just wondered if anyone had any contacts for the destroyers or insurers...

What's your budget? No point going for a top end frame if you'll have to scrimp in other places. Unless you get lucky the frame will probably be the worst £/g saving.

A stiff 1.5kg aluminium frame with 1kg wheels would be better than a flexy kilogram frame with heavier wheels.

I don’t have a budget per se but I’d see this as a slow burning project, hence why I’m looking to get lucky with a frame well ahead of the autumn. I was thinking harder to get decent light wheels...?
Not stuck to carbon just seen a lot of Supersix weight weenie builds so seemed the obvious first choice.

Y’all realise I’m selling one...

Chinese rims & hubs + Sapim Lasers and a good wheelbuilder. Vittoria Corsa Speed (or Pista Speed) tubs.

Easier than finding a cheap, light, stiff frame.

Cranks, finishing kit, all good places so save weight cheaply too.

Amen to this. @eyebrows is the fountain of HC forum success.

I've got an ultimate and it is very very very good at going uphill.

gunna try and get some light wheels and do the season this year

I’ve an Ultimate disc worse case scenario...

Sorry but I’m 6’3” @eyebrows

I just wondered if anyone had any contacts for the destroyers

Ring around the carbon bike repair companies - they will have seen a few.

I picked up your bike at the weekend. Its well built, thats for sure

;)

You calling my bike fat!?

Just big boned
