That's what my Panasonic Touring Deluxe or Cross-Check are for. Both have semi-horizontal drop-outs, so technically, I could set them up like that as well as SS or Fixed. Oh well, maybe someday.

I've been putting way too many hours in at work lately and I decided to give myself an early birthday present. I finally pulled the trigger on a Steamroller frameset. Better fit, less saddle-to-bar...

Frame is what IRO calls a "53cm". The T.T. is 54cm and the seat-tube is a measly 49cm. My Surly Cross-Check is a 52cm (with an actual 52cm seat-tube) has a longer T.T. of 54.5cm and that thing fits...

I attempted to fit my Ritchey SpeedMax Cross 700x32's in my IRO Mark V fork and no go... I'd say, if you really want/need to fit larger than 28's, get the Steamroller fork. Just my two cents.
