Suggestions Please
 
Hi Guys,

New here, but not to biking. I currently have a KHS frame with some goodies on it ( Campy record BB, Campy Daytona crank, King HS)

My dilemma is that i love my bike on the weekends, but the ride to work every day in the city has been pretty taxing. was torn between a SS 29er, SS Cross, or if anyone can reccomend a Track frame that will fit wide tires Such as (steamroller).

or even if a MTB or older 10 speed that i convert may be a better option

I like a more relaxed geom.. as you can see i have a pretty big rise on those bars.
All suggestions are welcomehttp://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._1006028_n.jpg

Old beater touring frames would be my choice. Nice relaxed geometry, eyelets for fenders, wide tires and bottle bosses.

Would i need to worry about the drop-outs.. i really do not want to run a chain tensioner

If it has short dropouts, then yes; if not, don't sweat it.

short dropouts can be compensated by half links.
