Am I looking at custom? Want an S&S coupler as well but don’t think I’ll find one off the shelf.
Looking for:
•Touring/Audax geometry
•Rack-bottle-mudguard mounts
•high quality steel or Ti
•Lively ride
•Singlespeed to take Alfine hub
•EBB
•Disks maybe, if inside rear triangle
•S&S coupler (perhaps retro fit)

The posh version of the vaya? Comes with couplers and has a disc mount on the chain stay. Won’t do ebb but does have a multitude of bosses for various things…and looks lovely

Holly shit yes! Ebb is just me being a tart really. Where can I get a frame?

thorn nomad or mercury

Charlie the bike monger or lifecycles uk. Lovely frame and the top notch version (they do a cheaper one without couplers) looks lovely.

Van Nicholas Amazon can be specced with S&S couplings

There’s even a Rohloff version (tricky to run Rohloff shifters if you want drops though)

if you’re a 55-56cm, you’re in luck

Ordered!

Good man! Make sure to order some downtube cable guides if you’re going to be running it with gears.

ohhhhh man I want one of them.

Going alfine I think for the ease of travel. Just got an email sayings it’s arrived! I’m in Germany for another month…
