Looking for a road bike frame to build up for the summer. Would like something in good condition, preferably aluminium, but open to options. Looking to build it up with current gen Ultegra.
- Rim brakes are a must
- Internal cabling is a plus
- Absolute sucker for all Caads, and a weak spot for BMCs (love a horizontal top tube)
Considering frames up to £700, or full builds up to £1,500.

Cervelo S2? It's carbon though...

Wondering what the odds are of finding a NOS or mint Caad12. If anyone has any advice on where to look, it would be very appreciated. Already scouring Ebay on the daily. Any chance any retailers would have a frame knocking about? I mean, even if they're not listed online, would it be worth calling around?

Not interested in the Cervelo I take it?

Is it the one I've seen on ebay?

Looks nice, although I'd prefer aluminium, so yeah, don't think that S2 did it for me.

However irrational, I've become rather hung up on the Caad12.

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
