Choosing a frameset is the first structural decision in a bike build. You are choosing the frame and fork together, which affects fit, brake compatibility, and the kind of riding you can do. These four options range from a used carbon road frame with forks to a new gravel-oriented carbon frameset.
Quick take
For the lowest listed price, the Scattante SL6 gives you a carbon road frame with forks. For a new road frame with a light carbon structure and modern brake mounting, the 700C Carbon Disc Brake Road Bike Frame is the option to consider. If gravel is your route, the Gravel Bike Frame with internal routing and a new-condition build fits that route. And if you want a handbuilt Italian frame with a mix of scandium and carbon, the Casati Dardo is the option with character.

Frameset-by-Frameset Notes
Casati Dardo Scandium Carbon Road Frame Set Italian Handbuilt - 700c Fork & Stem
This is a used Italian-handbuilt road frameset that pairs a scandium main triangle with a bonded carbon rear triangle. It includes a matching carbon fork and a 3T alloy stem, and it is set up for 700c wheels with rim brakes. If you want a frame with a distinct Italian character and a blend of scandium and carbon, this is the one to look at. The trade-off is that it is a used frame, and it is listed for rim/caliper brakes rather than disc brakes.
Scattante SL6 Carbon Road Bike Frame 53cm Bike Frame With forks
The Scattante SL6 is the most accessible option in this group. It is a used 53 cm carbon road frame and comes with forks. The frame shows some scuffs here and there but no cracks, and the bike operated well before being disassembled. If you are planning a road build and want to keep the frame and fork budget low, this option fits. Because it is used, you are working with a one-off condition and a fixed 53 cm size, so it suits a rider who fits that frame size rather than someone needing multiple size choices.
700C Carbon Disc Brake Road Bike Frame 950g Superlight Road Bicycle Frameset
This new BXT road frameset is disc-brake compatible and built with T700 and T800 carbon. The Sky Blue finish is the color shown for this frame, and the frame size shown is 52 cm. If you want a new road frameset with modern disc-brake mounting and a carbon structure from BXT, this is the one to weigh against the gravel frameset from the same brand. It is a new frame, so the condition is different from the used options above.
Gravel Bike Frame 700C Internal Routing Disc Brake Carbon Gravel Bike Frameset
This new BXT gravel frameset is built for gravel use with internal cable routing and disc-brake mounting. It uses T1000 carbon and a BSA bottom bracket shell, and the listed frame size is 54 cm. The No Logo Black Matte finish keeps the look understated. If you are assembling a gravel bike and want internal routing for a clean setup plus disc brakes for mixed surfaces, this frameset is the direct match. It is a new-condition frame and sits alongside the road frameset in the BXT lineup.
