Hey Bob,
You've put the Titus twice and missed the Orange.
Easily done, ask how I know!?
ETA Just a thought. Join the "Orange riders" group on FB where frames are often advertised first. Good luck.

Bob,
What are your requirements.. I imagine you'll be looking at a 1 1/8 steerer so you can use your forks? QR front and rear? Standard BB?

Bob just buy a bloody new bike and get ya arse in to gear and get out and ride mate .. Plus it will give you more insentive to get ya arse out if you buy a new one even on finance , you Havant got to go mad and spend 3 grand .. ... You can pick a nice bike up for less than 2k which will last you for years .. And not cost much per month on payments ..  And keep ya on one as a winter hack bike .. Just saying .. |

Wish I could mate but I have to keep the warden happy as we want to have quite a few weekends away next year so building a bike is a happy compromise .
As for the on one that will be built back up slowly over the year that way the Warden won't even notice that I have two bikes again

My advice would be to ride the bike you have before spending on another |

I know the feeling Bob - could quite happily spend out on a new bike and just ride it. But still toying with building on as I enjoy that side of it too.

My advice is to go for it, since May 2013 I have have 3 full bikes and bought 2 frames for swapi for stuff over too. 5 bikes in total as I only have 1 at 1 time, so much fun to change and keep things fresh!!!
*please note my advise is severely flawed as I should have just bought a better bike to begin with and stuck with it haha

But the donkey is just so boring all up up up with little reward and full of strava wankers that think they are professional riders |

The climbs are there for fitness mate , that's the best way to get fit .. Or give ya self an heart attack  Good luck mate , I know wot it's like to be at the back .. I still am.. I hate hills lol |
