Need help finding a frame: 132.5/135 & kickstand plate.
 
I haven't been turning up many options on my search, so I figured I would ask here. I've been trying to find a frame with rear dropout spacing of 132.5 or 135, as I will be using a 135 hub, and a kickstand plate. Preferably, it would have a more road-oriented geometry. Eyelets and disc-capable are a plus, but not mandatory.

It can be a frame, frameset, complete bike... Doesn't really matter. I'd probably just sell off most of the parts if a complete bike, but that's no deterrent. I'm open to pretty much anything; from the lowliest you can find, up to about $500 for just a frame or $1,000 if a complete bike.

I know I could cold-set a steel frame (or just jam it in there) and use a kickstand with a top plate, but I would rather consider that Plan B. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have, even if it's a steel frame with 130 spacing.

Trek has town bikes with some of those features

I have a Koga Miyata Touring bike , it has not 1 but 2 kickstands, 1 for the front wheel rack load.

But Its a NL company selling to a range of dealers, every where but the US.

How about the Soma Saga? It's a touring frameset: http://somafab.com/sagatouring.html

The Soma Saga looks just about perfect. Thank you. Anyone know of any others?

Easy. I've already looked into it for myself.

The Civia Bryant gets you 135mm spacing, disc tabs, multiple dropouts for IGH's or derailleurs, rack/fender eyelets, and best of all a kickstand plate. I think it's priced at just over $500 for the frame, but it's pretty much the perfect commuter frame IMHO. I think Civia has another same-geometry model thats cheaper but doesn't have the split frame with changeable dropouts for the belt drive, not sure what the name is though.

I just looked at Civia's current offerings per dyrmaker83's suggestion and they are very enticing. They offer both the Bryant and the Kingfield as framesets with provisions for disc-brakes and v-brakes respectively. However, it appears as though they are 130mm rear spacing which may or may not be a problem, as having to cold set out of the box would be something of a bummer. I would also suggest the Pake C'mute, as an inexpensive option, however it does not come equipped with a kickstand plate. Good luck!

Cheers

I think the Civia spacing is 135mm too.
