Might be worth sorucing a trek marlin frame in xs (this fits 650b as the other sizes are 29er).
Decent frames, should be plenty of them knocking about as they’re popular. Can also take a normal rear rack so that may be helpful to carry stuff in a longer ride

Re: Similar but cheaper (rear rack content)
Thanks for those suggestions. Maybe the idea of three mounts on the rear isn’t as good as I’m thinking it to be Is it not more metal bits to break Simon? I'm not getting stuff like that - looks a right faff to unstrap those bags - I'd just use a set of Ortleib front panniers on a normal rack That’s...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Just partaken of a pleasant luncheon. Chatted with my pal at the Council about how he's going to spend the £1m we managed to wangle for new cycleways and footpaths around the town, so that was nice.

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Interesting bar from Cannondale Interesting because the crossbar stiffens it makes it less comfy while also being too thin for mounting things to? : ) I suppose it'd be useful for stabilising a bar bag strap. And £15 is a good price. Interesting because I wasn’t sure what style to call it :lol:

Re: Older school gravel cx options?
Kinesis used to do a couple, forgot their names though a few friends had them, seemed quite nice
My memory is hazy but Cannondale may need the wheels redishing to sit correctly, so maybe a brand to avoid?
Edit might have been Kinesis Crosslight?
