My 'final' bike project will the about town pub bike that aint so sexy. My wants are:
I want it to have a rack on the rear*.
I want the ability to carry someone, so about 60kg rating. Possibly a stunt peg?
It will run with an Alfine
It needs to be able to hold mud guards with a good coverage.
And I want it to use disc brakes (at least on the front)
*well they seem much more practical than the plethora of hip front baskets- though I'm not against having something on the front.
I have this Kona Explosif frame but I don't think it's possible to be able to use a disc and rack simultaneously. Can anyone confirm my fears. Also given my wants can you suggest an alternative frame that will tick all of my boxes?
I'm not optimistic about the front end either:
Hope that makes sense?
