Looking for thru axle steel road bike, does it exist?

[johnandlions]

I'm looking for a modern road bike with oversized steel tubing, *preferably* tapered head tube, flat mount disc brakes, and 12mm thru axles. Any suggestions? Is there a frameset like this?

Thanks!

Kona Road House is the first to come to mind. There are probably others out there.

City + County in San Fransisco has been working on a house branded frame. Check their Instagram. I think it might fit your request.

We make one! Our Enigma Elite HSS Disc has all those boxes ticked off. The pics online show a traditional axle and ISO mounts but we do it as a flat mount and thru axle also.

Are you planning on doing a lot of really aggressive off-road riding? I'm not questioning your choice, just trying to understand this combination of specs.

Not super aggressive, but I would like a bike that feels confident in a multitude of situations can handle being tossed around. Also, I've got most of the parts needed for a build like this already and have been wanting a modern steel bike
