Hi all,

I'm looking for a light frameset in size 58-59, L/XL, 187 cm/around 78/79kg. My maximum budget is around 1400-1500 USD. In general I found Winspace SLC3, Ican FL1 and Elves Vanyar. All framesets are within my budget. Maybe would some have some other recommendations within that amount ? I saw that topic - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=175073&sid=f0f6545f ... 4&start=60.
However, still I have not seen a lot of reviews of Ican, I would say that I even didn't see any of them. I have Elves Falath Evo, so I trust Elves, but the frame is not as "light" as I would like to, but for sure is soild. I know the Winspace, I saw some reviews, the frameset is the "lightest" in my size. Bike will be build using Sram Red, 1x12, garbaruk cassette 10-44, in front Gemini 46t, Avian Canary handlebar...and I still don't have a frameset

Unfortunately, the QUICK PRO AR is too expensive, Bigrock Sohtea Superlight is not looking very good for me, so I sxclude it. Based on some videos, input on the internet the weight is as below:
1. SLC3 - around 800-850 g
2. FL1 - 985 g
3. Vanyar - 980 g

In general, I'm looking for some advice, suggestions. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Frame finish quality of Winspace is regarded as very high. So if you like the looks of it I would go with that.

SLC3 seems like the best deal going. Weight, price, looks, round seatpost, good finishing. A do it all bike. I heard they might be releasing a SL version that will be lighter. Not sure how true that rumor is.

You want to buy a light frameset in your price range. If all three of these framesets are visually to your liking and work for you in terms of fit then it would seem like a simple decision to go for the lightest one, the Winspace SLC.

Yes, I know!
I'd like to know what the ride experience is like.
