I'm going to sell my SL Pro, its too big. apart from that its been fine.

I have £500

been looking at the Hongfu FM069 or 066

These Chinese frames look good and the reviews are positive.

Also cool with Alloy - Caad10 although these are bb30 which will mean a new crank 🙁

bike will mostly be used for simple road miles as part of cx and mtb training. but might also try a road race or two this year.

anyone seen anything else that might be worth looking at? something spotted in the sales?

cheers

BB30 to euro adapters are available for £20-30 if that helps your decision making...

Think mine was about £440 delivered with a headset/seatpost/spare hanger. I didn't get stung for import duty but I have heard that others have.

The new bowman palace looks good for £600ish,not a fan of the colour scheme.although the modern alloy manufacturing apossed to entry level carbon makes sense I,m not sure I,d be able to pull the trigger on an ally frame.

Other alloy frames that have caught my eye are the de Rosa milanino and the cinelli experience

I've got a Hong-Fu FM079 (disc version of the FM069) and it's brilliant! Communication when buying was good and the finish is flawless. Think it ended up costing around £500, including the paint job and customs/Parcelforce fees.

Just before the first ride:
