Anybody own one of these? Looks like a nice frame, especially in that lovely blue and also my idea of what a drop bar gravel bike should be. Now if they only did full builds.

Think I’m going to order one of the carbon fork kits and a 1x GRX groupset from somewhere. Have a go at building up a bike for everything but MTB. Will only leave me about £400 for wheels and finishing kit though 🤔

Be interested to see how well the ordering process etc goes, one of their frames (not a Super Albarda) is in my sights in the near future, they've been very responsive with messages etc. so bodes well.

The Super Albarda is a cracking price at the moment, and that 68 degree HA! 😀

Mrs stu has a Nordest Bardino.
Good guys to deal with and no problems with the order.
They even gave her a discount on a second frame after the first one was written off when a car hit her.

The frames do look well finished and I like the graphics and headbadge. I’m a sucker for a nice headbadge. Going to give it some serious thought.

This is the non 'super' Albarda (but the only difference is the geo):

I really like the look of the SA, just a bit worried it's pushing too far in to MTB territory. I'm still spending far too much time thinking about one though......

Oh, and thanks Brexit for the huge hike in shipping fees.

Just seen on Instagram they’re not shipping to the UK anymore either. The options for gravel frames at the minute are getting slimmer and slimmer!

They said not shipping to the UK until they get it sorted, not 'not shipping anymore'.

Someone on the Nordest Facebook group got tracking for a Ti frame a few days back, picked up from Madrid.

Bugger. I'd noticed the 89 euro delivery charge but not that they weren't shipping atm.

My dad lives in lanzarote. I’m sure postage from Tenerife to lanza wouldn’t be to much for a frame. Get him to bing it back with him in the spring. That’s a real quandary now.
