Looking for something like the Surly Midnight special -650b but with fairly roadie geometry - I Like the surly but think the dropouts are a joke. Ideally steel fork as want to build up for road cruising/ bike packing touring capability with gears. Not bothered about tapered head tube

Cotic Escapade V2 would be an option but can't get hold of one. Seqouia seems to fit the bill but seems to be made of lead after reading some reviews.

52cm or there about. Any ideas?

What's wrong with them? Simple vertical dropout 142x12 thru axle

roadwarrior in reply to @Heldring

they are 12mm open ended, not threaded, so you can't use proper thru axles (you need the use the bolt jobbies they supply) and if you want to use standard qr you need to run adaptors over the skewers

Just standard surly retrogrouch BS
