• This thread TL:dr.
    Having not had a road bike for years and realising how tractor-like(but awesome) my lht is when riding with others it’s clear I need an on-trend groady thing.
    Will be my only road bike and will only do lighter off road duties as I’ve got the lht for touring anyway.
    I’m a massive surly fanboy so looking at their pacer replacement but realistically I can’t afford it.

    So, need room for slightly knobbly tyres with mudguard clearance, geo to suit my 5’10 t-rex figure and take a small front carrier while being nippy like a road bike. Cheaper the better or ideally frameset.
    Not fussed about wheel size or brake type.
    Akrose?

    Akrose?

    Arkose has a really long wheelbase, ain't nippy. They're more of a dull plodder.
