I absolutely don't need this, but I do quite fancy it.

Looking to try racing this year in crits and need a bike with gears! Ideally something geo wise in line with my 50cm Pre Cursa, aluminium or carbon with 1 1/8th steerer or tapered.

5700/5800 groupset for affordability, space for at least 25c

Can pick up across London, would like it to come in around 350ish but can be flexible.

Disc or rim brake, emphasis on it being a stiff frame with an aggressive geo (like I know what either of those terms mean...)

I had a Principia RS6, these are rocket ships with amazing handling, better than cheaper end carbon for sure and certainly more responsive than my ex-conti pro team carbon frame made by KTM so should suit crit racing perfectly IMO. Sold mine to a 2nd cat rider a few years back who'd had one before.
You can usually pick up a decent build prinny with full carbon forks for about £300.
I rode it and a Rex Pro at over 100kg so rock solid frames.
Luck finding something

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.
