New frameset advice
Moderator: robbosmans
Thanks mate, next time I will be in adelaide will probably be for the state road championships and in mid june. Hopefully I will have a bike organised by then. A powermeter would be a very good idea, I am looking to get a wheel based one so I can share with my brother. I will be up near Melrose in the flinders ranges for easter, hopefully will get 4 days solid riding and training .

cool mate, are you riding u17 or u19?
If you're riding u19 I'll probably be racing you
Just in case you haven't heard of it, look up 4iii, you can get two power meters for about $800, so it's the same price as a powertap, and you won't have to worry about whether or not you can run your race wheels.

Congrats man
Post some photos of the Magnus when you're done building it.

At that budge (or if you can stretch it just a little) you may be able to get a Cervelo R2 (great frame) or look at Cannonadale EVO Six or Specialized Tarmac or Trek (Madone/Emoda) Either will make e a great bike, assuming the fit is right for you. There is obviously many others but I'd start here.

Shipping to the ACT was 5 days! So it's quick shipping. Not sure if it'll be slower/faster to SA, but a rough guide would be ~2 weeks by my guess.
