I've got a whole bike's worth of components from my dead BMC Alpenchallenge and I want to build another do-it-all bike with them.

So, what frames can I get without bankrupting myself that have a split chainstay for Gates belt drive, the right spacing for an Alfine 11 speed and preferably a big BB shell for an eccentric bottom bracket?

Did you get anything?

I've just stripped my Cube Travel Pro down to move the belt drive stuff to another frame so was going to sell it.

you can always get a steel bike and put s&s couplers in the seat stays. any competent framebuilder can do it

I haven't yet.
If your Cube is a 54 and it's possible to post such things to France these days I could be interested.

It’s bigger I’m afraid. 56cm Center to top on the seattube and 57cm toptube.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
