• I have been collating a list of 'practical' SS frames and this thread seems like a good place to share it. By 'practical' I mean disc brakes (sorry), clearance for decent size tyres and mudguards, and maybe even a rack—so basically a modern singlespeed tourer/gravel bike. Inspired by abr's list of SS disc framesets with decent clearances.

    Loosely categorised below. (Not including bikes that aren't available frame(set)-only or SS off the peg, as I wouldn't expect someone to buy a new complete geared bike and then remove all the components.)

    I suppose the harder thing to find is an appropriate disc fixed rear wheel?

    Just run it fixed ;)

    Been through this rigmarole recently. Some hub options available but you'll end up getting a Surly Ultra New, so just do that and save yourself the bother.
