OK, it was a year ago since I last posted and I'm still searching for my practical fixed-gear bike.
What I would like is:
Mudguard mounts front and back
Front and rear rack mounts if possible (if not then ideally just front rack mounts, for a porteur rack)
28mm tyre clearance minimum
120mm track spacing if possible, otherwise 135mm
700c
Road-ish geometry
Flat-topped fork crown
I am fussy and I would not compromise on the flat-topped fork crown.
So I'm thinking a fixed gear Cross Check is the way to go but that really has too much clearance - I already have a big-tyre bike. If the Steamroller had mudguard mounts and front rack eyelets it'd be purrr-fect. There was a frame called the Tokyo Fixed Dream Machine a couple of years back that I regret not getting.
Anyone know of such a frame?
