Think of selling my 26″ simple and replacing it with something larger wheeled in a larger size (simple is medium and really a bit small for me at 6’2″), either 650b+ or 29″. I’m struggling to find any nice frames to base it on;
Looking for;
[list]
[*]Steel[/*]
[*]Rigid forks[/*]
[*]at least 30.9 seat post (ideally 31.6 so I can share a reverb between bikes)[/*]
[*]Swappable drops outs or alfine compatible (without tensioner)[/*]
[*]Rigid forks[/*]
[/list]
Main usage is going to child towing, family rides, winter usage and bimbling around when I don’t want to take the full sus out.
I did see a niner sir9 for sale yesterday which looked nice, but that has needs a 27.2 post. A Solaris fits the bill though I’ve had 3 cotics now so fancy something different. Maybe a Genesis IO ID (as a full bike, again I had a 26″ one in the past).
