iRob Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I'm looking at building a SS from scratch. I'm looking at a big wheel, but also want to use it off road, Jeep track vibe, no single track! I've looked at a few road frames but the tyre profiles are almost all too narrow. What kind of frame will hold a wider-then-a-road-bike tyre but is still "big" (700c/29") ? ANY wisdom out there?
Cyclocross Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Buzzer sounds - "Yes Cyclocross?" "Sir, I feel compelled to offer a speedy reply for some reason". Cyclocross frames will do the trick allowing heavily treaded wider tyres(than road)with even some extra clearance for mud. Were a few recently in frame only or fully built versions on the hub which a search should reveal if still around.
iRob Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 shot okes... I've been looking at a few frames, on-one, ragley etc, but want to go old school. like as in 80s/90s old school. any help?
