@Heldring seems like quite a pricey adaptation... and i already own a quite nice triple crankset that uses the hollowtech system...

oh didn't know about that, so guess i'd go with the outboard wheels mfg then? supposely easier to get replacement bearings when it's time...

@psee would you be so kind in telling me what kind of cable guides do i need to buy for this frame? i can't really tell from the last posts and the info at cnc. I plan to use a triple in front, so i'd also need a front derailleur clamp which i don't know what is the measure as well...

thanks

i'm seriously considering buying it to build with a low trail fork i already have. it's so cheap that even with a new bottom bracket and headset, it would still be cheaper than buying a straggler or something like that new, and the head angle being at 73 is even better for low trail. BTW it weighs the same as the straggler does... I currently ride an old hybrid with disc tabs brazed on and a reraked fork. it was a really cheap conversion just to see how it would feel (instagram links below), but i want something more lively now.

unless anyone here in europe (germany preferred) is willing to sell a frame with BSA that clears 650b x 48mm tires with fenders or 27.5 x 2.1 offroads...? ;)

I did a bit of research regarding BBs and these two seem like good options instead of cheap adapters:

Cheers!

pressfit is indeed a pain. that's what's giving me second thoughts about the frame as well. did you find any other affordable frames than could have a similar tire clearance? i'm looking forward into finding a gravel frame that i can fit my low trail fork to, and run compass 650 x 48mm switchback hills tires with fenders.

any updates on this project?

would you be so kind into measuring the chainstay length (center of bb shell to center of rear axle) of this frame and informing us?
