Wanted: 56cm Turbo/Winter Frame

Donie75 · 2015-10-07 10:02:50

I bought a nice new carbon bike recently and I'm afraid that I'll wreck it in the turbo and out on dirty winter rides. Has anyone got a frame for sale around 55/56cm with a relaxed sportive geometry. Would also consider something with a groupset or some finishing kit as I have a set of wheels.

I am toying with the idea of selling my current bike as I'm in the process of building a newer one.
It is an Olmo 55cm Altec/Nueron frame with Campag Centaur throughout and I would be happy to part with it without wheels also.

LD,
Is that an old school steel frame? I was thinking of something fairly recent with a relaxed geometry and long headtube

Have Trek Madone 5.1 in 56cm size. Is structuraly good altrough there is some pain flaking on alloy part of forks and there is some little play in bottom bracket as well. You can pedalling with no problem just not sure if this might be ok as main bike. Its with 105 grouppo.

I believe Altec is an alloy but yes it is an older geometry, perhaps not what you are looking for.
