The frame has canti mounts so they'd need to be lowered but that's not an issue. Would doing something like this ruin the frame? or should I try to trade it for a 58cm touring frame instead of my current 60cm? I really like the way the frame looks but with the 37s and having it "loaded" it would be difficult for me to navigate my delicates over the toptube
I have seen this done, and it turned out wonderfully! The Trek I saw had the cantilevers
moved to fit, and the fork was tweaked a little bit for more rake.
