I don't know the answer to this but I think we need more information. Are you asking for Chinese aluminum because it would be cheap? What price range are you looking to spend? What size frame are you looking for? 54cm, 56cm, etc. What kind of geometry?
Any additional specifics that you want like flat mount disc brakes, components, wheelset, etc.
Right now there is a scarcity of bikes and available components due to the shutdowns overseas. Shops cannot even order some brands of new bikes because the manufacturer does not know when they will receive any. Paul
Paul, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am looking for an inexpensive frame for around $300. As far as the frame size/geometry....I test rode a Giant Revolt in size Medium/Large and I liked how it fit. I have a wheelset and will be needing to buy the rest of the components. Thanks, Tim
Cool. I believe that would be a 55/56cm frame size. For some reason Giant sticks with Mtb sizing, S, M, M/Lg, and Large. I actually just picked up a M/L Giant Revolt Advanced 2 and can attest to it being basically a 56cm frame.
Best of luck. Sram components may be easier to find than Shimano. I saw plenty of Apex 1 builds in the LBS but not too many 2x's.
Also, may help to know what city you are looking to buy in. Shipping on a frame can add $70-100.
