|
|
My beautiful bike has died. I shall be forever saddened, she was a good bike, always ready, always enthusiastic, comfortable - a trusted steed. She and I shared many a mile and manya memory. Mud, blood and miles later, she will never be forgotten....
Now... I need a new frame! :-) (or bike) Size medium.
I plan on taking the componetry off my bike - a Santa Cruz Superlight, and building another. I dont use the FS that much anymore so I dont want to spend a ton of money on a new bike so I thnk this is what I want to do.
Anyone have a great frame for sale, or know of one? I've found a couple of bike options on KSL.com but havent decided exactly what I want to do, thought I'd put it out there....
Thanks!

X3 on the...OH MY GOD what happened to the Superfly....
So because "not a ton of money" is always a relative term.... Here are a few new "closeout" frames on both CC's in the 4-5" of travel arena.....

Ooooo, pretty frames.. drool, drool....
The first two might be a bit out of the budget for a frame, but the Titus is a possibility. Thanks for the links! |
