• Because my previous frame has died, it's time to search for a new one.

    I'm looking for a preferably new frame with horizontal dropouts, holes in the fork and rear so I can add fenders and paniers and also holes so I can add two water bottle mounts.

    An example of such a frame would be (however this example does miss the water bottle holders):

  • so basically you want this

  • ^ That one has no bottle bosses (weirdly). Spotter not living up to his name. :)

    The Surly Cross Check would do it. So would the On One Pompino. The IRO Phoenix here. Byercycles have this thing too.

  • There are Kona Paddy Wagon frames at Chain Reaction for £175 at the moment. I think they fit the bill too.

  • Good point, a pompino/pompetanine would be the best best imo

  • What was your old frame, did that not fit the functional bill?

    No it didn't. It was an old roadbike frame, which I had used because I got interested in fixed gears. Sadly I've had a crash with it after the ride to Cambridge, and the top and down tubes snapped.

    Now I have the chance to make a new build with a new frame, and I want to get past the limitations of my previous frame.
