@martini
any ideas would be greatly appreciated- so i have a pagganini sioux sl columbus rd bike, i want a single speed but i cant bring myself to convert this as i think it was ment to have all the gears and what not etc- it has a little bit for hanging a race number on.
i'm going on a month cycle in sumatra in january and need a bike for that cus mine has no lugs for rear paniers and the wheels are just not hard core enough.
so i cant afford to get a bike for this and a single speed so i want a frame that will be okay to carry paniers on rear that i can later convert to single speed.
i quite want to build up the bike myself- iv already steam bent some ash handle bars
oh i kind of need some good trye clearance as i might put 35's on oh and i like retro or simple looking frames
please help xxxxx
