I’m selling a 54cm Foundry Riveter frame and a generic full-carbon fork. http://foundrycycles.com/bikes/riveter
How I ended up with this definitely-too-small-for-me frame is a bit of a long story, but the short version is: Here’s your a chance to build up a sweet full-carbon road disc race machine!
The frame is brand new / unused. It really is a beautiful frame; I wish it fit me. It is Di2 ready, internal cable routing, etc.
The fork is a used generic full carbon, tapered (1 1/8″ – 1 1/2″), QR disc-brake fork. I’ve ridden with this fork on my road bike for the past year (so about 2k miles on that bike) and it has been fantastic. Super stiff. But I have finally switched to 15mm TA, which was always my intent, so I’m offering this one with the frame. There is a bit of surface cable rub, but otherwise great shape.
This is a mostly raw/unpainted carbon frame + fork, so you will see things that look like blemishes; those are just features of the carbon.
Forum price: $600 for the frame + fork or $500 for the frame only (no fork).
Edit: A couple updates:
– Max tire size is 25c on wide rims. (Maybe 28c on narrow rims, but they might rub the fork at least.)
– There are no fender mounts here.
– Min rotor size for frame/fork is 140mm. The frame can reportedly accommodate a 160mm rotor. (Fork can too, of course, with adapter.) I have run my road disc w/ 160/140 (f/r) rotors and that works great, but I know Shimano suggest 140/140 for their setup on the road. And you might prefer 160/160 to have extra stopping power from the rear brake.[IMG]http://bikearlingtonforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7696&stc=1[/IMG][IMG]http://bikearlingtonforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7697&stc=1[/IMG][IMG]http://bikearlingtonforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7698&stc=1[/IMG][IMG]http://bikearlingtonforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7699&stc=1[/IMG]

If only my tax refund were bigger…
(But in all seriousness, if this were a cross frame, I would be all over it. I do not “need” another road bike, but if someone wanted to buy a 2011 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 6 56cm frame, I would totally sell it and buy this frame!)

If this were a cross frame it would not be available! Just saying.
Yes, I’m a little surprised this hasn’t been snatched up yet, but then I look out the window and it’s snowing here (in Reston), so perhaps this frame will wait until the first warm weekend in March and then go up on ebay. I wish someone was selling this in my size; I’d buy it in a heartbeat at this price — even though I already have a disc-brake road frame!
