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: https://somafab.com/sagatouring.html

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!
