Custom or is there one already?
Hi,
After some years of trying and failing, searching and searching I give up, I can't find a frame that would fit me and my needs just right.
Has anyone in this world seen a frame that would have:
(really imporant)
* tall seat tube (58-65 cm)
* tall steering tube (22 cm +)
* short top tube (58-60 cm)
* small bottom bracket drop (3-5 cm)
* disc mount, inside the rear triangle
* fork and seat tube angle 72 - 73
* long chainstays (45 cm +)
(not so important)
* stand mounting plate (preferably central one)
* room for 700x47 rubber + fenders
* exchangeable derailleur hanger (like on aluminium frames)
I am 2 meters tall, 94 cm inseam, foot size 15-16, somewhat short arms etc. Tough luck finding a good frame.
Surly's Disc Trucker and most of the touring bikes are very nice, but have low BB. I have 205 mm long cranks and that creates a problem in turns. Salsa Fargo looks great but seat and head tube angles are too steep (71 deg). Singular Peregrine and many others are too small...
Can someone recommend a frame that would fit these requirements? Or a frame builder that can do the job for some 1000-1300USD (any country should be Ok).
Thanks,
m.
