Due to injury I'm looking for a frame that gives me a much more upright position than even a relaxed road bike, while meeting the following requirements
- Disc brakes
- Can achieve single speed with either horizontal/track dropouts, or has an oversized bb shell to put in an eccentric bb
Big stack (640mm+) ideal
Any recommendations?
- Disc brakes

Based purely on its paintjob I bought this frame off the forum a couple of weeks ago and am building, for now, a single speed commuter with bullhorns and brakes. My objective is to keep the build well under 8kg, while spending around £300 in total - while also looking awesome.
Let's start with the frame. Wilson built, 753 tubing - amazing paintjob (divides opinion). Came with an M-part elite threaded headset. It's 62cm c-c so never going to be the lightest, but will see what we can do. Anyone that saw this for sale before will note that most of the stickers have been removed - less is definitely more.
Cost - £120 / Weight - 2,570g including F&F and headset.
