So Steel, clown wheeled,100mm tapered ht,EBB or sliders and not super expensive (£500ish) or I’d just buy a Shand tomorrow.
Or 2nd hand Solaris/Swift and get it modified.
Coming up blank with ideas.

TransAM 2015 onwards, 120 and not the kind of thing you are asking about in any way, buutttt I really like the dropout system for ss.

why yesterday’s metal?
kona honzo if you want that.

Ha! Logged in to post almost exactly the same question so will be watching with interest!

The new Onza frame, forget what it is called?

Canfield Nimble 9

Does it have to be steel? My Trek Superfly ss frameset rides great.

Superfly ss

Currently running mine with 100mm Rebas (bought from Swinnertons)

Salsa El Mariachi?

I’ve had alu ones,carbon ones, ti ones.
I like rusty bikes.
Honzo is wide of the mark but made me think of the Unit (which I’ve owned 2 of).

Singular Swift?

Swift is 1 1/8th….could get a 44mm headtube substituted….theoretically.

Kona Honzo.

Singular Rooster, although probably not corrected for 100mm fork’s

2 souls quarter horse?

Edit too expensive

2nd hand niner sir 9. Must be a few knocking around.

Last Fastforward
Transition TransAm

Their what I’m currently looking at for the same thing .

Didn’t Pipedream do something that fitted the bill? I would check but I don’t seem to be able to get on their website.

Last FastForward looks awesome! It’s designed around a 140mm fork but the BB drop isn’t that huge and although the seat tube is steep if you run a layback post the extra 2 deg of steepness (from the shorter fork) shouldn’t be a problem.

Mariachi from one of zee German sites?

The 2016 Genesis Longitude ticks all those boxes.

Just be aware of the required offset in rear wheel.

Stooge? The orginal version went like a fker with a suspension fork, camt remember if andy put a 44 headtube on the mk2 or just the ti version.

Stanton Sherpa.

Thry look lovely in green too. Suppose to be a lot of fun to ride.

El Mariachi is pretty much that, with the swappable drop outs.

Kona Unit. Reynolds 520 tubing, not as posh as some but still rides nice IMO.

You could maybe pick up a full bike for not a lot more than you’re looking to spend and sell the rest on.

A fast forward with a 100mm fork would plough a furrow with the bb….so I’m buying one to put my Revelations on 😀
I need a more practical all day bike as well….with no gears.
Latitude and Sherpa are’nt ss able.
If I wanted a Jones…I would’nt buy a Stooge.
There is a brand new unit on the bay….anybody want all the bits for a couple of hundred quid?

Surely you’ve just described the Salsa? Sounds like exactly what you’re after. Plus it’s stunning in the flesh.

And I’d get to give Charlie more money….bonus.

I have a Solaris and an El Mariachi

El Mariachi ticks all your boxes

Mine is set up rigid and SS
