  • I would guess a road frame would have a better geometry to ride for long distance but it would have less advantage compared with a MTB for off road riding.

    This is the problem... you can't have both.
    You need to choose, do you want to ride long distance on road? If the answer is yes then just buy a fixed gear frame and fit the biggest tyres you can.

    Do you want to ride off road? If the answer is yes then you buy an old mountain bike and make the necessary modifications.

    Personally I think an old mountain bike is the best choice.

    This is an old Specialized Rockhopper. This is what you need albeit with some disc mounts added.

  • It doesn’t have to have disc mounts but it’s a good thing if it has. Also thanks for your advice.

    I keep searching on ebay but can’t find a lot of cheap frame that would do it...

  • Hey dude,
    While you were hesitant las week, I contacted Mielec for you and asked for a Mash Geo Frame with both Disc and Canti mounts and:
    -kind of tubes : round
    -kind of head tube : integrated
    -kind of geometry : yours (the one on your ss page) wirh triple triangle if possible?
    -kind of welding : polished
    -no paint

    And, lo and behold: according to the owner: "So the price for such frame will be about 200Euro."

    There you go!
