looking around for some inspiration. I think my time wrangling with a tourer/ gravel bike is over (vaya). i just cant get on with the high front end.

Essential: toptube ~ 560, Stack <580,stays <430, discs

I’d also like the ability to run 42c slicks – but will compromise on that.

Any ideas.

Trek Crockett?

558 / 580 / 425

Don’t think a 42 would fit. Have 33s in mine with plenty of clearance though.

it’s certainly on the list. my mate has one in the pink. It’s nice.

Niner RLT half price?
