I'm doing this in slightly the wrong order to say the least, as I've already bought the frame, but... does anyone have any experience with them?
To give a bit of background, I'm currently riding an awful Ammaco XRS700, its crap, but a mate gave it to me for free and its given me the road cycling bug, so can't really complain. I explain in this thread (https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/square-taper-bottom-bracket-problems-seized-bent-cup.224984/) the issues with my current bike.
I've been upgrading the components over time to a Tiagra groupset and some shimano wheels and the plan was to save up over next year or so, buy a decent frame, swap the components over, then at some point upgrade those components to ultegra.
Should I stick with that plan and use this as a stop gap frame, or is it good enough to be worth upgrading the components on and to stick with on more long term basis?
Its only cost me £37.60 so was a cheap gamble.
