looking to build a light bike thats comfortable for longer rides and climbing but still has some zipp and strength when out the saddle I'm 84kg and 178cm powerfully built but Im happier in the saddle and spinning cadence. I worry my weight will be an issue with the super light frames and cause flex when i stand up on a climb or sprint ??
any suggestions would be very helpful
been looking at these carbon frames but happy look at Steel or titanium
Ridley Helium Sl
Argon 18 gallium pro
Cannondale SuperSix EVO

Merida 9000
Thanks
JJ
new build

Supersix Evo will never let you down. It does everything very well. Mine is an absolute pleasure to ride.

I think only the hi mod was offered as a frame only option. Your best bet is an 'as new' condition used frame from a forum or eBay. There are bargains to be had if you shop around and are patient.
