 I am looking for a winter project, to build up ready for next spring. Who makes a decent 853 road bike frame? edit: Something suitable for mile munching, not too low at the front.

 You know you want to .Brother man.
|
 |
 Why has it got disc mounts?
|
|
 so you can fit some of these.

Oh they're a pretty!

I dont think to many companies make 853 road frames for some reason(anyone?).Have a look at the Planet X Kaffenback Monkey,they look like a good solid frame as well.

 There are loads of 853 frames around, I just can't think of any off top of my head. Head over to RCUK.

 I'd expect an 853 road frame to be quite flexy so not a very efficient ride compared to a carbon or aluminium frame. Also they're likely to rust up during winter road usage due to salt on the roads which is not much of a problem for aluminium and less so for carbon.

True, but isn't that about £2300, frame only? They have em' in my LBS, very nice.

 I sense you have regret about selling yours.
