Due to pressures on the home front I´me trying to reduce my bikes from four to three. I´ve decided to sell two of them and build one bike to replace them. The problem is, one was my single speed commuter, the other my hybrid ´shopping´bike. I´m keeping the two road bikes (winter & summer excuse accepted).
So I want to build a bike with a Sturmey 3 speed hub, caliper brakes, mudguards and, ideally the ability to mount a rack on the back. I´m probably going for 28mm tyres.
So I´m looking for a frame with horizontal dropouts that will handle the above.
My search for one has been fruitless (discounting a couple of truly expensive frames by custom frame builders), the closest I´ve come has been the Kinesis Decade Convert2 which would have been perfect except it´ll only take mudguards if you´re running 23mm tyres. http://kinesisdecade.co.uk/product.php?id=3
I don´t suppose anyone has anything suitable knocking about (or know where I could find one)?
The least important thing would be the rack mounts, if push came to shove.
