You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I am thinking of sending a frameset from UK to singapore to build a drop bar commuter bike. I am 6'2" with 36" legs so a 58cm with a short stem kind of size. I am aiming to cycle 70km a day.
I want cheap, zippy, with rear rack mounts, ideally stiff. Dont care if it is steel or alu.
The first options i've identified are brand x from CRC, or with some trepidation, a planet-x london road. Both are around £100-150. Any other ideas?
The blue alu Ribble frameset? See lots about as winter bikes / commute bikes
Unfortunatly Ribble don't post to Singapore, otherwise i might have gone for that. I ended up going for the Brand-x then forgot to buy a headset so need to find ine of those locally!

Not sure on postage but is there anything on evans? They occasionally have cheaper frames. Merlin cycles?
