I've been browsing for a possible future build. My requirements are a quality butted steel tubeset with classic straight TT geometry, two bottle mounts and preferably top tube cable guides since I like to mount frame pumps and the clamp on mounts will probably hit it. I've concluded that a frame that also has a pump peg will never materialize. Not talking about a $2000 custom frame but one that is reasonably priced like a Wabi, Surly, ect.
Sloping TT, but has cable stops and the pump peg.
