new frame

[brian]

so I settled with ICBC and they gave a cash option to replace my frame. thinking of ti this time but could stay with Cervelo

I know it's not on your list, but it is Cervelo. Carbon Soloist, I heard a rumor that the 2008 price will drop slightly...

If not, Independant Fabrications. They make beautiful bikes, I had the Procycling Mag Calender on my desk at work. And I couldn't stop staring at this black Independant Fab bike. Their stuff is beautiful. No Idea how they ride tho.

For what ever that's worth!

Moots Vamoots, because it's the only one on your list that is all ti. Why mess with a bonded frame? Go all ti or go home.

Also no idea how it rides.

If I was going to go for a Soloist model it would be the SLC-SL. slightly heavier than the R3 but the aerodynamics of the Soloist's.

Here's the new R3

Was it the Indy Fab XS model? those things are insanely expensive.

I'll scan it for you tomorrow after work. I'm not sure it said what frame it was. Prob a Factory Lightweight!

[Ninja]

Looked at the picture. Not worth scanning cause you can't see the full bike, or what model of frame.

How much is the SLC_SL retailing for? And do you think it'll be worth the extra money for the pittance in weight savings.

moots ftw.

I also voted for the Cervelo SLC because you didn't have the Soloist listed...my 2 cents...giver on the Soloist. That is an awesome frame right there. And...you'd be supporting a top end Canadian manufacturer to boot!

Fixed they don't actually manufacturer anything. They farm that out to Asia.

Seriously?! I guess I should'a looked into it myself instead of believing what someone else said...thanks for pointing that out!

Not that there is anything wrong with contracting manufacturing out. Specialized has been doing it for years and I love their MTB bikes.
