After the untimely failure of the dropout on my daily commuter/loadlugger I'm after a replacement. This will be for day-to-day use, family rides and possibly some mini-tours/camping. Not fussy about material, headset size or wheel size (26" or 700c) or dropouts (vertical or semi-horizontal) but needs to fit a few specs:
-Big enough to fit me (6ft with long legs)
-Rigid forks
-Canti/V-brake studs
-Eyelets at the dropouts for mudguards and racks
-Strong enough to lug heavily laden panniers and stable under load
-Not super racey, would prefer a relatively high front end
-Not super pretty, this is going to get locked up round town
I guess the dream ticket would be a Surly LHT or something like that. Let me know what you've got. I'd prefer something not too-spendy, but would stretch the point for exactly the right frame and forks.
