  I have one of these http://www.gravelbike.com/?p=1913

  It attaches directly to the seatpost. Potentially may be an issue with a carbon seatpost (no-one seems willing to try it). If you're 6' odd you'll have no problem with clearance.

  Perfect! This now gives me lots more options for a SS.

  Just had a quick look into Carradice, and this will definitely suit my purpose (to carry a change of shirt/trousers and perhaps some shoes). Can they basically go on any bike? I was looking at the Paddy Wagon before I realised it didn't have eyelets for a rack...

  How much are you looking to carry? A big saddlebag (Carradice or whatever) could be an alternative to a rack.

  I wont be carrying too much, just a light change of clothes. I'm thought saddlebags were only big enough to carry a few tools. I'll have a look into it.... thanks!

  Ticks all your boxes.

  Thanks DHD. It's a nice bike, but am a bit concerned about the 57cm frame. I'm 6' 3" and had a 57cm Kona PHD in the past, which was definitely too small. I currently have a 60cm Trek Alpha, which is just the right height.

  Thanks Hugo7. I did see Fox's thread, but he wanted eyelets for mudguard, not rack. I'll definitely have a look into the Dawes and Ridgeback suggestions.

  Hi, I am looking for a single speed bike that comes with eyelets for mudguards and a rack. I know I can attach them using other alternatives, but comments in other posts suggest this is not ideal.
  I'm used to cycling to work with a rucksack on my back, but this gets sweaty and, unfortunately, my new job doesn't provide showers. Think a pannier is the only option.

  Any suggestions? I need a 60cm or 61cm frame. I'd prefer to buy a bike that's already built, but could be persuaded to build one if there was a frame around.

  I'd also like a steel frame, if possible.

  So far, looks like my only option is a Day One. Any other suggestions??
  Cheers

  Hi did you have any success on this forum? I'm looking for the same thing, but in London.

  I'm looking for exactly the same thing. Did you have any luck finding what you wanted? Any frames you could recommend from your search?
