He didn't keep the Selene very long, that tells me a lot about the overall behavior of the Velocite for racing purposes...

Budget Race Frame
Moderator: robbosmans
A friend (who was road racing cat. 2 at the time) had the Selene (1450g for a size M, and a heavy fork) and a CAAD9.

Prefferably below 1200g for the size 52 frame.
Being in Canada, the Canyon Ultimate Al is out.
Besides the CAAD10 and Allez Smartweld, I also thought Jamis Icon.
Stevens Vuelta maybe, but being in Scandium it must be expensive...

I have to scratch the Stevens alu frames as they're BB86
(not compatible with my BB30 Quarq) . I was starting to like the 2015 Stevens Aspin in Black ano....

It may be possible to run your Quarq with a modified preload setup and this style of BB:
I just can't remember off the top of my head if the spindle is one or two mm short but it's worked for people on BSA68 frames with threaded 30mm cups - that ends up being almost the same width as BB86.
This however would be another good option if you really like the frame.
A brand new CX1 crankset can be found for about $200 and would be perfect for the swap.

Why no-one mentioned FM066SL. I believe the frame is good enough to race, and cheap enough to not worry...
^ Bang on sir.
I recently re-built mine for racing purposes with DA7900 and Rotor3D with P2M (not in pic)
Pretty good stack/reach combo for a race posture IMO
Weighs 6.78kg without P2M will be exact 7kg with P2M which I installed yesterday but havent weighed.
It comes with options of BB30 or standard BSA BB; I went with BSA didn't want BB30 headache plus its easy to swap cranks between this and my Madone (BB90) being 24mm axle Rotor 3D.
