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
Trek Émonda
Merida 9000


Thanks

JJ

Cannondale SuperSix EVO,

Take a look at Caad12, You can save money in the frame and spend on wheels or groupset.

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

Just out of interest where can you get a super six evo frame on its own? It only seems to be the evo hi mod on its own

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.
