• might be a stoopid question, but if you were going to run a 29er frame with drops, how would you approach sizing? Just go as close to your road bike effective top tube length as you can?

    Building a more rugged disc tourer/rando/trail bike and thinking of departing from the road/cx options to more offroad-orientated but without flat bars.

    Was looking at an Ogre but the weenie in me started crying and telling me to just get a caadx and suck it, then the buyer in me told me to just go custom, then the calvinist scot in me said 'just go planet x london road and stop being such a materialistic princess.'

    Now I have no idea.

  • just go planet x london road and stop being such a materialistic princess.

    Just did this. The frame's hanging in the workshop looking at me, whispering "you cheap bastard, you'll never be on radavist. I'm so plain and simple you'll be whipped to within an inch of your life for even touching me"

    Wait this is the functional thread.

    Do it.

  • Did you go frame only? I'm thinking of full bike to at least transplant the groupset onto something... more functional at a later date.

    Anyone got any opinions on the Salsa Marrakesh btw?
