  • Considering other options since current frameset does not fit but I have a hard time finding a frameset that correspond to what I want, figured it might more correspond to a sscx:
    -steel frame + steel fork
    -clearance for 700*28 or ideally 32C for both front and rear
    -rim brakes (ideally calipers but if not canti)
    -horizontal dropouts (for "track" hubs)
    -ideally not longer than 53 top tube (52.5 would be great)
    Seems almost impossible to find, or I certainly do not look in the right places, any ideas?
    EDIT: aaaaand... not too expensive of course

  • That's basically a pompino.

    Or a second hand old path frame.

  • Crosscheck, nature boy

  • The original, steel Charge Plug.

  • Brother Cycles Allday, I've run 33c with caliper brakes on. I've got a 54cm 2018 black frame in stock at Velo Domestique (can post) if that helps?

  • All city Big Block - the geometry isn't really one of a sscx, but otherwise, it would fit your description.

  • If you stick to steel then putting rim brake mounts (presumable v/canti?) on something that doesn’t have them is an easy task.

    Vaz probably does these at a reasonable price or someone like @PhilDAS maybe. I’m about to put v brake posts on a Genesis IO for a mate (I’m in Glasgow though).

    Do you want to be singlespeed or fixed? In my experience fixed works best on 120mm rear spacing. Singlespeed can be made to work on anything depending on hub choice. Have you already got wheels?

    Genesis Day One might be an option? It’s got the tyre clearance, newer ones are disc but I reckoned I could have added canti posts to the seatstays when I had one, the fork would definitely take it.
