I like my old orbit 531c tourer frame FG/SS set up, but I'm limited to 28mm tyres with clearance for mudguards and I want 700 x 35/37 with mudguards.
Seen a Pompino, front clearance would be fine, but doesn't look much better at the rear really.
Tried a Crosscheck which has clearance for even wider tyres but 42mm chainline gives very limited chainring size.
Tried an old Bob Jackson 27" 531 frame which had a bit more clearance with 700 wheels, but it felt really compared to Orbit. Not sure what was going on there.
Is there anything in between the Pomp and Check in steel at the same sort of price?
