Cinelli Xperience Frameset - Red/White - Thoughts
Postby Aushiker » Tue Dec 22, 2009 3:47 am
Still chasing/exploring options for a summer commuter and this frameset from PBK caught my eye, a Cinelli Xperience Frameset for $631.47 + delivery and assuming they can get an XL (need to confirm that is the correct sizing but 95% sure).
Anyway there is more details on the frame at Cinelli US.
It comes with a headset (41.8mm Campagnolo standard), Cinelli carbon fork (1 1/8"), a Cinelli handlebar (0/S), Cinelli stem, bar tape and and a Cinelli seatpost (31.6 mm).
The price is the best I have found on the net for sure and having the extra components makes it quite cost effective. The balance of what I need to get it up and running can come from my CRX 1, plus I just need to purchase a pair of 105 brakes and shifters.
Potentially a package of $1,055 less possible sale of the CRX 1 frame.
Thoughts?
Regards
Andrew

Yeah I did a fairly extensive search last night and PBK was by the far the best price from what I found.

Also, very few people would have a cinelli here - it'd stand out from the pack.

Is the geometry suitable for the commute?, what about load carrying? Are they rack compatible or will you have to go the bag route? How big a tyre can they fit and will it be enough for your route?
If the answers to the above are good for you go for it. I'd like to see the result.

I suspect the frame is not ideal for a traditional commuter, but I really don't need a traditional commuter as I can drop gear of in the car every fortnight and on the off-week ride the Surly one day a week for a clothes change. Everything else gets left there. If I am finding I need a little load capacity a large saddle bag of some type should do the trick, so what I am now looking for is a good frame to set up as a reasonable priced fast commuter.
I think this frame will do the trick if I can get it in my size.
Thanks

Yep which is fine for me ... might even use it for a crit or two if I get my act together on that front.

You are welcome to try out my TWE wheelset Andrew to see how it runs on your surly. Might need to swap your cassette on tho.

Would be nice, but they don't have my frame size at present. Waiting on the stock notification ...

did you end up getting one of these? If so, interested what you think because it would seem to cover what I'm looking for as well. Although PBK seem to be out of stock of most sizes at the moment - hope this doesn't mean the good price was due to run out of a discontinued model
Would also be interested in any other options you've come up with along these lines

No haven't got one. They are/where out of stock of my size and I have been waiting for notification of new stock.

How was the frame shipped? Was the fork already installed or did you do this yourself? Did it look like the BB needed facing?
And what else have you put on it?

Did you have a choice of stem and bar sizes? Some shops (eg Bike24) offer a choice but the PBK website doesn't mention this
Would love a progress report after you've had a few rides - keep us posted

What size are you waiting for?

Am pairing with 6600 SL wheelset, groupset and pedals.
Looking forward to getting it on the road. Hopefully have it to ride by the weekend after this.
