Wanted: (extra?) Small touring frame

Posted on
  • Hey all, looking for a touring frame sized 49-51cm. Preferably something that can take a wider tyres (At least 35mm?)

    Was looking at bikes like croix de fer, surly straggler/LHT, but definitely open to suggestions.

    Only caveat is that I'm based in the netherlands, so you would have to be willing to ship over here. It's been a bit tough finding something that hits the mark here, so thought I'd reach out on the forum!
    Cheers

  • I've got one of these as a winter bike, it's got all the boss's for racks etc and it's been great so far. Fits mahausive tyres and guards. If I ever do any proper touring it'll likely be on this, I've done a bit of light touring/commuting with a rear rack and panniers on it before and it worked great.

    there's also this which is very similar

    EDIT- just realised this is frame only, which makes it considerably more expensive.

    It's no genesis / surly but then it cost's £200... It's been solid enough for me! They do a steel 'kaffenback' if that's more your thing, pretty much a heavier CdF type frame/fork for £200
