Explore the World of Road Bike Frames

When it comes to crafting the perfect road bike, the frame is where it all begins. It’s the foundation of your ride, determining everything from the bike’s weight and aerodynamics to its comfort and durability. Whether you’re a seasoned racer, a long-distance tourer, or someone who loves to mix it up on gravel paths, choosing the right frame is crucial to your performance and enjoyment on the road.

Aero Frames: Speed and Precision

Aero frames are all about one thing—speed. Designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, these frames cut through the wind like a hot knife through butter. If you’re a road cyclist looking to shave seconds off your time trials or dominate the flats, an aero frame is your best bet. These frames typically feature aggressive geometries and sleek tube shapes, reducing drag and helping you maintain high speeds with less effort. Explore our selection of new and second-hand aero frames from top brands, and get ready to leave the competition in the dust.

Endurance Frames: Comfort Meets Performance

Endurance road bikes are built for the long haul. Whether you’re tackling a century ride or just want a smoother experience on rough roads, endurance frames offer a more relaxed geometry, increased stability, and additional comfort features. These frames are often made from materials like carbon or aluminium to balance weight, strength, and comfort, ensuring you can ride longer without fatigue. Browse through our range of endurance frames, perfect for those who prioritise comfort without sacrificing performance.

Gravel Frames: Versatility at Its Best

For those who like to mix road cycling with a bit of off-road adventure, gravel frames are the way to go. These frames are designed to handle a variety of terrains, from smooth tarmac to rough gravel paths. With wider tyre clearance, robust construction, and a geometry that balances stability and agility, gravel frames are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re prepping for a gravel race or planning a multi-day bikepacking trip, our collection of gravel frames has something for every explorer.

Vintage Frames: Classic Style and Timeless Performance

There’s something undeniably special about vintage road bikes. Whether it’s the classic steel construction, the timeless design, or the nostalgic connection to cycling’s rich history, vintage frames offer a unique riding experience. Perfect for collectors, retro enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the charm of a bygone era, our vintage frames are sourced from sellers who share your passion for cycling’s golden age. Each frame tells a story—now it’s your turn to add to it.

Choosing the Right Frame for You

When selecting a road bike frame, consider your riding style, preferred terrain, and goals. Are you chasing KOMs on Strava, or are you more interested in long, leisurely rides through the countryside? Do you stick to smooth roads, or do you crave the challenge of mixed surfaces?
