Recommend a frame
I am searching for a winter commuter frame (my "new" winter commuter didn't work out because of toe overlap). I had found my ideal frame, the origin 8 CX700. Unfortunately, it is between production years, so unless a shop stocks it (which none of my LBS's do, nor any websites I am familiar with), they can't get it. What I am looking for is...
1. Disc brake mounts
2. 700c/29er, with 40mm + fenders clearance minimum (more, like 2" is better)
3. Able to work with drop bars-I am willing to use a weird stem and stack of spacers if need be
4. Preferably horizontal dropouts so I can go SS if I feel like converting for the summer
5. Cheaper is better (the CX700 was great value at a $200 price point). I have a Salsa Fargo, which meets all the criteria besides this one and 4, but I don't want to risk the frame to accelerated corrosion by salt.
Of course, if you know of a reputable shop/LBS that has a 56 or 59 cm CX700 (I am between sizes), I would be happy to hear about that too! Thanks!
