Suggestion for (cheap) ss cyclocross frame?

Posted on
  • Please suggest cyclocross frames with horizontal dropouts. Material can be steel, aluminum or titanium, but not carbon. If the material steel or alu, the price should be 300-400 or less. Disc or canti, doesn't matter.

    Initially I tried to find one made of titanium. Now I've pretty much given up the idea since I could not find a single off-the-peg ti frame with horizontal dropouts.

  • One one Pompino

  • Custom mielec :D

    About £200 posted.

  • Do you specifically mean track ends or any dropouts which allow horizontal-ish adjustment for a single speed setup?

    If the latter then check out this SSCX thread for ideas.

    Or go for a Surly Cross Check maybe?

  • I think the pomp is the only true contender here for being both cheap and amazing.

    Not biased I swear.

  • My vote goes for pomp or cross-check. Love 'em both.

  • Cheap SS cross sounds like pompino or pompetamine as stated. I love my pompino.

  • Another option is to use a frame that take large tyres but use caliper brakes (i.e. a Steamroller or the like).
    If you are not riding anywhere that is a mudfest then you don't need the mud clearance of a canti brake so really all depends on what you are using the bike for and in what conditions.
