  • Thanks for posting my Trek in here. I was actually about to ask for opinions, since I'm considering replacing it with a new frame+fork.

    I want disc brakes, and I want to be able to run wider tires, preferably at least 700x45 with fenders, and 650bx50 more off road oriented tires also with fenders. I was looking for a Kona Sutra frameset, but gave up pretty quickly as shops across Europe seems to only stock complete bikes.
    So now I'm considering

    Kona Rove - Literally perfect, but tapered headtube is ugly.
    Surly Bridge Club - Also nice, but would like thru axles.
    All City Gorilla Monsoon - Ticks all the boxes, but is pretty expensive.

    Anything else I should consider?

  • Get a local frame builder to either A) weld disc tabs so you can run disc 650s or B) move the rim brake tabs down a touch to use 650 rims!

    Could also crimp the stays to allow to wildness.

    Better to mod than buy new right?
