I'm thinking about building a commuter/all rounder based around the SRAM CX1 group. I love my fixed gear and my Canyon, but I'd like something that falls in between. Something that's as simple as possible for long, harsh and hilly rides when the Canyon is too delicate and the fixed gear is too limiting.
I'd quite like to go for the 11-36 cassette and a 42t chainring, giving me 100"-30". The rest of the build would probably a SRAM Force rim brakeset, Thomson seatpost and stem, Deda bars, Flite saddle and Shimano RS31 wheelset.
Where I'm stuck is deciding on a frame and am looking for suggestions and inspiration. I'd like to run 25-28mm tyres. Mudguard eyelets aren't essential, as I quite like raceblades so I can pop them off whenever it is dry. I definitely want two bottle cages.
Anyone got anything in mind that would fit the bill?
