As above. I currently have a Mmmbop which I converted to commuter duty, but the wheels are just…too small now. It looks like this:

I want something with decent geometry that I can ride hard, whilst occasionally carrying me groceries. It’s all about no compromise! Nothing too expensive though. It’ll be left locked up in the streets a lot.

I got a few suggestions on this thread 2 years ago..

But I didn’t buy one back then and wondered what I may have missed in the meantime.

Any suggestions most gracefully received

The new Surly Karate Monkey is 29/27.5″ and has sprouted all manner of rack mounts.

Bombtrack Beyond maybe?

Or, have you seen the Thule luggage racks?

That looks like it comes on and off pretty easily, is rated for 11kgs and it looks like it will sit on a suspension fork as well.

If it’s any good, you may be able to do what you want without the frame having rack mounts at all. And as most hardcore-ish bikes don’t have rack mounts, that’s got to be a good thing. 🙂

I’ve got a large Felt Nine 30 frame available. Has rack mounts. Can sell with forks too. Email in my profile.

My Pace RC127 has rack-mounts, I think the RC127+ does too.
Might be a bit pricey to leave on the street though?

Pinnacle Ramin has rack mounts IIRC.

Voodoo Bizango has rack mounts if you’re after a “budget” option. I generally wouldn’t leave mine locked up in the street though…
