WTD Winter Frame

RobFowl

Looking to get the winter bike sorter on a tight budget
I have a Colnago road master as a fall back but really don't want to destroy that !
Am looking for a small/Medium or 52 equivalent frame.
Strict budget of €200

Am looking at Planet X and Ribble too but would like to see whats out there...

You don't wanna destroy the 'Nago by riding in the winter but are prepared to put Shimano on it?!?

Part of the reasoning behind this plan is to keep the Italian stallion covered in campagnolo.....

Planet x London Road looks like a reasonable disc frameset and it comes in around 200 quid. They also have a single speed frameset in budiet.

In a couple of weeks I am probably going to move on my old Specialized Allez Comp Smartweld E5 frameset.. its an XS 49cm. 522mm effective top tube. White / Blue 2011 model. Few marks on it, decent overall condition.

Hi Quigs Weepsie
I have long legs and a short torso for my height so an effective top tube of 54 is ideally what I am looking for. XS probably too small I fear and depending on make others tend to be small or s/m with occasional m ones. I do realise that at my price point beggars can't be choosers

Deffo will take a look Weepsie

Have a Trek 2000, size Small. Think 53.2cm top tube.
Carbon backend and Carbon fork, headset and Carbon seatpost. Can PM pics if interested.

Would you be interested in the Stephen Roche I have for sale on here? I can strip it down to just the frame, forks headset and seat post. I have someone who will take most of the parts. Only used in Majorca for two holiday seasons. Been in my attic ever since!
It's full carbon with a 54cm horizontal top. Yours for €200.

Thanks all but think I am sorted, went for a second hand cannondale bike in the end, pics will be posted when I get it

@weepsie I'm the original owner of the Willier, i bought it in the old Superstore, sold it, bought it back, sold it again and I'm just wondering what kind of money it might cost me to own it again? Not sure why but I'm kinda like the old girl
