Modern frame suggestions

[foz]

I am not looking to change my pinarello, but am thinking of picking up another frame of some sort, any suggestions would be useful! Either new or used, so doesn't need to be this year's model but I would like the following:

- titanium,carbon,steel or alloy (in that order of preference)
- threaded BB (no press fit or other daft ideas)
- rim brakes
- road (not gravel, touring, etc) but could be "endurance" rather than out and out race bike
- budget is limited

Any ideas?

you have just described my Lynskey Peloton, long since discontinued, it even has a straight headtube.

I'd look for some Ti bikes/frames on ebay. Prices seem pretty low at the moment. Which Pinarello do you have?

I'd have a GT Edge in Ti if I could find one.

oooooo!!! is that a modern version of it? (looks like it with the headtube and sloping geo?) If that's the case, didn't know they had updated it

2013 model i believe. Be hard to find second hand as they are keepers.

I have been researching a little more, and have come up with a short list of modern titanium frames with rim brakes that aren't prohibitively expensive (although not exactly budget either...)

Reilly T325
Van Nicholas Boreas
VPACE TR
Litespeed

anyone heard of VPACE before? I hadn't until recently, they seem quite well established but it's hard to find much info on them.

Any others I should consider? Comments on any of the above?
