Road bike frames

Road frames from the marketplace allow you to assemble a fast and powerful road bike for a fraction of the price of a new machine. Whether you prefer stiff and ultralight carbon for races and climbs, or durable aluminum for training, you'll find models from leading brands in the marketplace.
When choosing a road frame from the marketplace, consider these criteria:

• Geometry – endurance vs. racing: Endurance geometries offer a more upright riding position for comfort on all-day rides, while aero and race models emphasize low air resistance and an aggressive riding position.
• Brake type: Choose a frame according to your preferred braking system – classic rim brakes (caliper) offer lower weight and simple maintenance, while disc brakes (flat mount) provide excellent braking performance in all weather conditions.
• Tyre clearance: Older road frames accommodate tyres up to 25 mm wide, while more modern versions can easily handle more comfortable 28 mm to 32 mm tyres.
• Material condition and integrity: For carbon frames, pay attention to the area around the bottom bracket, seat clamp, and dropouts to check for the absence of deep damage or cracks.
