@RWGR
I would like to build an everyday commuter which is still very sleek looking out of an old steel frame.
im a bit on the heavy side, 6 ft 2 and 185 lbs. ive got a 531c which looks great but i think this tubing is a little on the thin side for everyday so i would like recommendations for vintage frames which look nice and have a bit sturdier tubes.
has to have relaxed comfortable geo
has to be lugged
has to be 531 st or butted tubing or equivalent.
must not have pantos on.
should not have too many braze ons as i want to ride single speed for this one.
must have pretty wrap around seat stays
i have been looking at some touring frames like dalesman and such but i dont like centre pull brakes and theres too bits i would have to remove.
any suggestions which old make/model would suit what im looking for?
thanks
