What's the clearance on the those like with guards?
-
• #8778
Max 25mm, maybe 28mm can fit in front and rear.

Genuinely think this is a perfect all round fixed wheel bike.
-

That is pretty nice, what is it? I want to say FXE but the rack mounts are throwing me off.
-
• #8781
It's a FXE. The older ones had rackmounts and steel faces on the drop outs
-
• #8782
I think I'd put some mudguards on, before calling it a perfect all rounder
-
• #8783
Yeah that with a set of guards and maybe a small rack would be pretty much spot on. It's primarily for commuting but also for winter riding and general abuse around town.

Aren't those rims limited to ~60psi?
Also wondering if the rear wheel is mtb front hub flipped, spaced and with the cog bolted on?

I have no idea how to search anymore but it sounds like you're looking for a similar bike to the one fox was looking for. He ended up getting a Pearson.
The thread is called something like fixed with mudgaurd mounts and two bottle cages.
If your budget can stretch i d definitely look at Pearson.
Edit: google reveals all

Is there any reason not just to get a pompino? Seems to tick most of the boxes.
-

I'd like something lighter with a bit faster handling and more like my road bike...
-
• #8788
Yeah, I suppose that's the main problem.

Obligatory comment about custom frame with spacer stack and short stem (was the term choad?)
Probably better than the massive toe overlap it would otherwise have as that's pretty bad already. Wrong wheel size for the frame size perhaps. -

The only other option is 26" which is just 1.5" smaller ..
-
• #8792
They can always use the S&S couplers to pop some extra tube in to make it a bit longer and avoid the overlap...
-
• #8793
Pretty much what I was thinking too, clearance is pretty tight on that frame already.
Mudguard are badly fitted.
-
• #8794
Guards don't look too bad, seems to be fairly even and a reasonable, if not slightly generous, amount of clearance around the tyre...
-
• #8795
Look at the bottom of the front mudguard
-
• #8796
Ok, the stays are a little tight to the fork... Needs flaps too.

Can you enhance that?
-
• #8798
Safer to have it close where the tire enters rather than where it exits.
