• Looking for a base for a road/touring bike that will be using a SS rear and 2 rings up front. Doesn't need to be anything special brand/model wise, would consider anything from decent beater state up to a mint cond Raleigh or similar. As long as it's straight and not dented the spec / fit / geo is what's important.

    Must have

    • fwd facing semi-sloped dropouts so it can be run singlespeed
    • clearance for 700 x 28 and guards or more, plus eyelets
    • steel fork
    • 57 - 58cm TT

    Bonus for

    • 126mm rear spacing
    • canti posts for bigger tyres
    • band-on shifter mounts and FD cable guides i/o brazed-on
    • dropout screws for chain tension / axle adjust
    • OS tubes, 31.8 DT and 28.6 TT
    • A bit more laid back than the trad road >73 HTA

    Thanks
