New project started


I decided to purchase new frame of road bike!!

I am using full carbon frame since 2006. Every year autumn, I disappointed due to frame maker released new shape carbon frame. Fuuuu.....

Recently, I decided to will purchased new frame. I think which is better?

Carbon frame....will disappoint again...Titanium? So expensive!!....Stainless steel?...Cr-Mo steel?...

Finally, decided to Cr-Mo!!
Because reasonable price, Durable and so enough stiffness. But little bit heavy, it is not important!!


First photo is my current carbon frame bike.
Main components: SRAM
Crank set and rings: Rotor 3D and Qrings
Wheel set: Carbon tubler with PowerTap, or Mavic reflex rim wheels


Now I am considering new frame basic dimension and seat post construction with frame builder side.

next photo is reference image of normal type frame. It is very simple basic frame.

I will choose sloping type of top tube one.


Next photo is image of using "integrated seat post" type.

I ask to them, I would like to use this type could you?
Their answer is "possible!! but position adjust range will be narrow. New frame dimension and bike position should be much to your current bike. Will consider ISP then send your bike dimension."

Wao, excited!!
I will order ISP version one.
I am looking forward to seeing result of consideration.

During considering frame dimension, I have to consider frame color!!

It's very fun time for me!!
?? Consideration is fun before get parts or something every time.

  1. Your blog is interesting and has good information about rotor cranks. For steel bike what type of stem will you choose? I think quill type looks best for steel frame.

  2. Hi, Paul,
    Thank you for read my blog and post comment.
    I agree your opinion, but this time my new one will use ahead type stem. Basically I will replace components to new one from current one.
