Re: Pedalforce carbon frames

Be careful, don't get hooked on frame weights, problem is unless you fit top end components at huge cost the weight saving will be lost. It is better to have a stiff strong frame thats 200g heavier and spend money on the moving bits e.g good wheels, chainset after all they move much more than the frame! You can get a scandium frame (1050g) for £246.50 or an lightweight alloy (950g) for £301.75 from Ribble. LPR brakes team still use scandium, it's good stuff!
I don't know about the frames you looked at but it's a lot extra to save a few grams and I think there will be more of a hassle free guarantee from a UK shop!
