[Closed] Replacement for a Cotic Road Rat

My trusty and much loved RR has died due to a frame ding that definitely won't buff out.

Unless someone has a RR frame for sale I'm now in the market for a replacement.

Ideally, steel, horizontal drop outs, clearance for some fat(ish) 700c rubber (I had 42mm in the RR), and a nice nippy ride. A bit of flexibility on those requirements for the right candidate.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

If you are still after something steel I would check out Brother Cycles. I have a Kepler that can take up to a 700x45c or 650x48c. Also check out Soma or Surly.

Genesis croix de fer, I bought the 853 frameset for half price. Currently with gravel king slicks at 38mm, looks like 42 would fit quite happily.

Not worth getting it repaired (which I appreciate may not be finically viable)?

It's absolutely mangled, I'm very lucky to be sitting here typing about it.

There is a small RR in the classifieds at the moment and a L or XL on eBay. Neither are mine.

Too soon after breakfast I feel.

@ funkmaster, cheers for that, pretty sure mine is a medium though I'll need to check.
