• Not sure the Stigmata will take up to 650b/2.1

    Are there any OTP frames/bikes (other than the Open UP) that take a 650b/2.1 wheel?

  • Foots Cray...Oooof! Damn that's more food for thought, and goes on the list.

    So it's...

    Foots Cray - epseically that RMB model - need to confirm specs, and whether I'll be able to get a frame fit that will abide my pretty upright normal posture. The dream frame is Ti due to its bombproofness, so if not Ti, would Alu be better than Crabon?

    One One Bish Bash Bosh - Tbh it's so cheap £610 (and fits the spec so damn perfectly), though the colours decals are a bit of an acquired taste...I might buy it and instantly respray it - was thinking Camo or Snow Camo

    Mason Bokeh - Release date issues?

    Open UP, and that 3T thing (FFS!) - Disregarded tbh through expense vs not being perfect fit in specs)

    Trail Donket 2.0 - looks damn fine, though if I was going to spend that much I might as well go full Ti?... http://www.rodeo-labs.com/td2/

    (Specs - will do a full build thread if CBA, though most of the info gathering sits better in this thread at the mo...)

    Bomb proof road bike (that's less a tank wrt to weight/handling) and can have 3 wheelsets - 700/28mm wets (with mudguards), 700/35 (or even 40 mm) Schwalebe G-Ones, 650b/2.1 Racing Ralphs, for Paris Roubaix sportive, towpaths, and the odd off road adventure.

    Internal everything cabling (even forks). Will be running Ultegra Di2 (I appreciate these aren't typical specs for a bike demanding bombproofness, though, well, I want it!).

    27.2 round seatpost so I can put a Ergon CF3 in it (obvs it's not armageddon to have 31.8 and use a shim, though Aero seatposts can >>>>>)

    I think that's pretty much it for the must-haves?!
