What are road bike framesets?

A road bike frameset is one of the fundamental elements that affect the riding experience. They’re usually made from materials such as aluminium and titanium, but the majority are made of lightweight and sturdy carbon fibre.

Whether you need to replace a damaged frameset or you’re simply looking to build your dream bike, we have a range of road bike frames for you.

Different types of framesets

A sportive frameset is perfect for racing as well as endurance rides and allows for an upright and relaxed position when riding. Their geometry is perfect for novice riders, and they often come with wider tyre clearance for better traction on different terrain. We offer a range of sportive road bike framesets which can be found above. Other types of framesets include road race frame sets as well as aero road framesets.

FAQ’s

Is it cheaper to buy a full bike or build one from a frameset?

This will depend on the type of bike you want and your budget. In some cases, it can be cheaper to buy a full bike and simply customise it to your needs. However, if you want a fully custom-built bike that fits you in every single way, then it could be cheaper to do so over time component by component.

How long do bike framesets last?

This depends on a number of factors, such as how often you use the bike and the conditions that it's usually ridden in. Our bikes and framesets are built to last and have a warranty of two years. If you take proper care of your road bike frameset it will last you a very long time.
