Slowbee Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Do any cx frames have bosses for attaching bag carriers? Either on the front or back?
the nerd Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Do any cx frames have bosses for attaching bag carriers? Either on the front or back?Yep. My cotic X has bosses for panniers.
Ryanpmb Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Do any cx frames have bosses for attaching bag carriers? Either on the front or back?Yip. My X does. Front is fork dependant. My other gravel grinder type bikes do. Pure CX bikes, not so much.
Slowbee Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks guys.....a cotic frame it might be. As an aside. Carbon forks wont have bosses?

Chro Mo Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Tubus and Old Man Mountain both make adaptors for forks without eyelets. Carbon forks on a tourer with racks is almost universally condemned as a bad idea, though. Better off with rear racks and frame bags if carbon forks are a must.

Better off with rear racks and frame bags if carbon forks are a must.just exploring options. the giant anyroad comes to mine. Tubehunter has also got me thinking of a carbon frame with wider tyres for comfort, but the idea of disc brakes grabs me. So currently my mind is all over on this matter (as I am sure the nerd can attest)
Monark Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Slowbee I am also liking the Giant bikes in this segment... one might make a nice stable mate to my Anthem Advanced.
Chro Mo Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I am not a Specialized fan, but they have got this one right. Very nice package. Ticks all the boxes for a do-anything bike. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/road/awol/awol-comp-frameset

Slowbee Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 great info thanks guys. at some point I am going to have to start transferring ideas into reality.
Slowbee Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 well chaps...90% decided on a frame. Just need the department of home affairs and finance to approve the budget proposal, and luckily there is no EFF'ing around.
