The World's Fattest Man with no bike! aka - find hippy a new bike aka - Just get ( fill in blank )

Forward mounted deep handlebar bag is very close to tyre.

You are looking at getting it in March next year, or even later depending on colour and size.

Trek Checkpoint ALR looks fine. Though so does the RTD. Trek has pressfit bb.

Canyon Endurance Al has pretty much all that too, but they don't seem to sell that as a frameset. The same with Diverge.

Curve Belgie would fit too, but it's rather pricey as they only have it made of titanium. Kevin doesn't have holes for wires, I think, and is heavier too.

Allcity Cosmic Stallion has 15mm axle fork, but otherwise would tick all the boxes.

Those and Strael were some of what I was looking at a year ago when I bought my Sibbo(has QRs and is now discontinued) and again this summer when I got a dent on it, but that got repaired.

That ain't gonna cut it. I will be building a new bike -now- regardless of what happens with insurance money.

I think your prescription needs updating ;)

Trek does look interesting. Probably not with PressFit though.

Diverge frameset but £3.3k

Have no interest in paying a Ti premium. They all snap anyway, even if you don't have a car drive over them. :)

Allcity, also never heard of them, looks like the Bombtrack one. Definitely prefer the cable routing on the Mason. Need to try and work out if they will fit.

They all snap anyway

Hear hear

Odd that almost none of these ultracycling/adventure framesets have internal routing for dynamolights or even a hole in the fork crown.

This.

The All City Cosmic Stallion will be lighter than the Bombtrack , they are nice in the flesh but still pretty pricey. I would go for a Strael or a Genesis Volare 853 personally.

The RTD could be modified to spit out a cable from through the headtube.

my ti frame cost £1500 and is pretty much entirely customisable (geometry wise), if that sways you.

Custom geo or custom paint just means more to by upset about/reproduce when I break it.

Genesis Volare 853

Interesting.

it has to be another kinesis, nothing else is ugly enough

Will that clear 32c?

Once it's covered in three different colours of leccy tape, as per hippyspec™, everything looks shit.

"Max Tyre Size: 700 x 28c "

Out.

Checkpoints are decent, about half the employees of Harry Halls have all recently bought one.

Max tire width is 28c.

Beaten by @hippy. Again.

What is a checkpoint and what is a harry halls?

Ah the Trek?

Trek

BB86, not a bad thing, certainly not worth ruling it out as you'd break it anyway ..

Harry Hall, Manchester bike shop and local institution.

If you use Campag cranks BB86 is functionally no different to BSA.

Those things.
