Been having mucho fun riding this, and even doing a frozen Jan campout on it.
I think I want to ruin it. Its very nearly perfect for chilled rural pootles, but... It'd be even better if it would clear more than a 35c tyre.
So I'm thinking of finding a frame builder to cut off and move the brake mounts, and fabricate a new chainstay yoke/junction for more clearance, so that I can run a tubeless 650b rim brake set up.
I'm aware this will obviously ruin the paint but also might look rad - splatter / raw steel and brass mix.
Is this a bad idea?
Edit: spelled yoke the eggy way
