WTD: Carbon frameset

gmacww · 17-06-2022 09:40AM #1

I find myself in a horrible situation where I've a frame issue on the race bike. I'm talking to carbontech about a repair but I think the BB30 housing is gone as well so the frame may be for a bin or a potential turbo option. In any case I'm potentially looking at a summer build that would be used for racing so on the look out for a nice carbon frameset. Geometry is difficult from manufacture to manufacture but ideally about a 56-58cm with a threaded bb. Anyone got anything taking up space or lying in a shed?

Budget not decided yet but this will be used for racing so it will be something I'm not going to worry to much over if it gets crashed. In short, I'm not looking or a 3k S-works frame :)

There was a blue canyon ultimate frameset on DD going for a reasonable price (€900 I think). I was looking at it myself but it's a large. Also a good few TCR frames (some pro versions) on there which bang for buck are one of the best road racing frames I think.

A very nice albeit rough around the edges complete super six evo hi mod on DD also https://www.donedeal.ie/bicycles-for-sale/cannondale-supersix-evo-hi-mod-6-4-kg/31378185

I have this bike on Adverts -

I could sell the frameset on it's own if you're interested? It might be slightly bigger than you're looking for? Also it's pressfit! I'm pretty sure I've a new Shimano bottom bracket knocking around though so I could include that.

I know you're looking for just the frame but there's a nice Canyon Ultimate CF SLX full bike on DD (not mine!). It's a large, but has great spec:

I've got a Planet X SL Pro Carbon frameset as well if that's any good to you? Black Large. From 2009. Weighs about the same as a rather petite mouse that's been on a diet.

I know it’s only a frameset you are potentially looking for, but if interested, I’m selling this Aeroad CF SLX for a friend of mine:

Size Med, with full DuraAce9000 group. 172.5mm cranks with dual 4iiii power meter. Prime 50mm Black Edition tubeless wheelset. Can send more pics if interested. €2950

I can’t rotate the pic on the new boards, sorry!

Nice aeroad but on the small side for the OP I reckon.

Where do you have it up for sale?

I should have it up on DD and Adverts some time this week. I just put it here when I saw the O/P. I’ll link it with the Externally Advertised thread when it’s up.

gmacww · 20-06-2022 07:38AM

Thanks for the replies all. I'm interested in the merckx one on adverts however unsure of the sizing. Might ping the chap and have a chat with him.

@Paul Kiernan I'm also interested in this. Tell me more :)

The Principia or the Planet X?

The Planet X sorry

Paul Kiernan · 20-06-2022 10:15AM

I had a slight issue with this frame which is covered in this thread. Picture here -

However, I'm now satisfied that it's almost certainly aesthetic and I'd have no concerns about using it myself. So I'd still want €150 for it as any less than that I'd rather just keep it as a good quality spare bike!

No interest in the Principia? Now that's a real race bike. Huge bottom bracket area means it really responds to a big power input (not that I'd know!). Just read the 5 star review linked in my ad!

Yes, I drilled the Principia to make it DI2 compatible. Some info and link here -

When DI2 came out first most frame manufacturers just added extra holes to their frames and threw in an extra set of rubber bungs to close off the unused ones. The holes are so small they have negligible affect on frame.

Looking at the PX pic. Did you fit a braze on front d to it or is it just that a cable happens to be sticking up like that?

Paul Kiernan · 20-06-2022 12:04PM

No, the cable is just sticking up! It was connected to the band-on FD which I'd removed to look at the staining!

OK. Frame that I have looks like it's easily repairable so the race bike will be here to stay. I'm interested in the PX for the winter bike mind you so I'll offer the 150 pending pics/inspection if that's ok with you?

Paul Kiernan · 20-06-2022 03:17PM

Cheers. Thanks. Glad things worked out with the race bike. Let me know how you want to progress it. I'm in Dublin 18, close to N11/M50 and I'm here most of the time so inspection is no problem.
