Looking for something to build into a flat bar disc road bike, but with 35c tires (a style I am yet to come up with a name for ). I'm 6ft1", but could actually oversize up to possibly a 60cm frame due to running flat bars on a drop bar length top tube.
I've been looking at the following as an idea of what i'm looking for:
Salsa Vaya
Holdsworth Stelvio
Genesis Croix de Fer.
What have you got?
Many thanks
Ben

not sure about the newer Croix's but my 2012 model won't fit mudguards on a 35c tyre, just so's yer know.

My 2016 does just fine. Plenty of room to spare.BobCatMax wrote:not sure about the newer Croix's but my 2012 model won't fit mudguards on a 35c tyre, just so's yer know.

I did PM you about a complete bike, how about a VGC Salsa Vaya 58cms frame only if i decided to split?
Thanks,

That would be a hybrid then... you know, like they have making for years - so you are looking for a hybrid bike frame...Ben98 wrote:Looking for something to build into a flat bar disc road bike, but with 35c tires (a style I am yet to come up with a name for ).
