Does A Frame Like This Exist?

Afternoon,

I think I'm looking for a frame type which doesn't really exist. Maybe there's a word out there for what I want that I'm completely missing... I'll describe what I'm after and maybe someone could help me.

I'd like a carbon frame with horizontal drop-outs with internal cabling for front and rear brakes.

I'd like to build up a really nice and light single speed, probably in fashionable stealth black.

Ideally it wouldn't be a TT frame as I'm just not fast enough to justify that super aggressive look!

Any ideas how I can get what I want? Maybe I've overlooked something?

Thanks in advance.

Internal front brake cabling, and horizontal drop outs? Not unless it's a TT frame, no.

Fuck justifying

You want a TT frame.

Felt Footprint? There's one on the 'bay atm

I'm not too sure why you need the rear brake....

None of those satisfy the 'internal front brake cabling' requirement though.

Internal front brake cabling is a headset topcap...

I get round the issue of ugly brake cables on my fix by leaving the brake off....

You can always get a carbon road frame with BB30 and run an eccentric bottom bracket.

Or a hub with an eccentric axle.

You could run a hub brake on the front with the cable carefully passed down the steerer, then through the fork leg.

Evening all. I thought I had replied earlier - maybe I am too new or something?

Thank you for your suggestions. The brake cables are the thing I could live without.

Re: Back brake: I am a wuss going down hills, and memories of being flung off a motorbike in my youth by using the front brake on a corner still haunt me :)

single speed

You need two brakes if you're riding SS.

^ this is an open mould CX frame build up by regular forumenger Soul.

The brake cables are the thing I could live without.

There is an alternative? Nobody told me.

Sir you might live on Neverland where money is irrelevant or you might be a big burglar like Charles Peace - but what's your budget punk?

You could use an inverted steerer design as Pace did and English does, steerer. stem and bars could therefore be one unit, or steerer/stem one unit with a conventional open-faced clamp for the bars.

That would make it easier to run the cables into the frame as soon as they leave the lever body, then for the front brake you'd run it into a fork leg.

For the rear brake I'd be tempted to go with a pedal back type, or simply run the cable through the frame.

Sorry, I of course meant I could live without internal brake cabling :)

Get that tinder app out your ass and try some syntax proof reading before wasting anymore of my precious time, Sir.

Sorry, I of course meant I could like without internal brake cabling :)

u wot m8 ?

That just leaves you with ... cabling.

That frame's a bit easier to find! :)

Ta all for your help. The Felt looks like the winner to me if I can find one in a 58.

All the internal cabling ideas are well above my ability/understanding - although sound ingenious. I can live with a few cables.

If you acquire the Felt, please make a short current projects thread and tell how much tyre clearance front/rear - or PM me the info.

Is this about to become inverted shim Mk2?

Internal brake cable routing ...

Ah the coaster brake, if your going to get a coaster brake, make sure the frame can take it, my friend mangled his Peugeot with the brake arm.

Have you tried cycling without using your rear brake?
