I commute past Swinley so looking for something that can do 50miles comfortably on the road (drop bars being essential then) and cope with the blue/red (with a bit of sphincter clenching anticipated due to drops/geometry/fixed gear, but not a cross bike with fragile wheels or spindly forks).
Looking for something that’ll take 29er tyres and wheels, designed around drop bars, disk brakes, be singlespeed-able (or fixed). Ohh and 2nd hand, haven’t got the £££ for a new Swift frame, but not had a huge amount of luck searching. And would rather stick with bigger purpose designed frames than sizing down a 29er and adding drops to keep the front triangle open for frame bags and/or hike a bike.
Gryphon, Fargo (alternator version), anything else I’ve not looked for? I’d like a Vagabond, but there’s no way of running it fixed.
