Posted this in the FGSS section to no avail, so I'll try here. My 2007 Windsor is on its last legs, so I'm slowly starting to look for a new frame. I like the geo of the Hour, no toe overlap is my biggest concern with the next being able to run 32c tires. Any ideas? I'm 6'2 for the record. and my current ride is a 61.

How is your Hour on its last leg?

I am riding a Torker U-District and love it! It can take 32c tires, has fender mounts, water bottle mounts, and is made to take a rack. I assume you want another fixed gear/single speed bike. If so look in to the Torker, it has many commuter friendly bits that pure track bikes do not. I know it is not a frame but, it is cheaper than many frames. I have ridden it almost daily since I got it over a year ago, I have no real complaints, just replace the rear axle nuts with track nuts if you are a powerful rider.

If you want just a frame, I would suggest a Surly Cross Check. $420 but hey, if the components from your Hour are in good shape then the cost to build up a Cross Check would be minimal I would think. I have a friend that rides a Cross Check as a fixed gear commuter and it is his car; he loves it. In fact, he is doing the Bike Across Kansas ride on it.

Thanks for the help dude. I ended up grinding my brake bridge a bit to fit the fatter tire, and I has a crack where the HT meets the DT, but I'm ordering a custom frame from Solid Bikes to replace my current frame first. I set my priorities pretty well I think...
