32mm tire wide rim brake road frame???

[DavidMtl]

I'm looking to change my road bike frame that accepts 28mm tire max for a frame that accept at least 32mm wide. Would like to put my mechanical rim brake groupset on it.

Non disc cyclocross will work but I want a more lightweight race style frameset.

Does a frame like this exists?

Trek Emonda Alr, maybe - direct mount brakes and the disc version will take 32mm.

Look for a 1970s or older steel (obviously) frame or go steel custom.

Chris Bishop makes exactly what you're looking for.

Later rim brake Emondas with direct mount brakes will definitely take a 30, 32 is tight but will depend on tires. I had 32mm-ish measured tires on my gen 2 ALR for a bit and it was too tight for comfort but worked for a few rides.

Rim brake Domane SLR gen 2 are usually no problem however.

Hampsten Levico. Steve made on for me this year and I’m totally loving it. With the Campy Chorus brakes we used some 32s may be too wide or too high, but the Veloflex fit fine and are great tires. But he could build it for many other caliper brakes, like the Velo-Orange Gran Cru, that work well and would fit 32s easily.

VO Rando is another option, with some options for different dropouts and setups. Not as zippy as a ritchey road logic - both of which you can buy NEW in 2024 if that's a concern.

Pair a VYNL road rim frame with a No. 6 Composites road rim fork and you're ready to go.

Did you have a material in mind?

Crust Malochhio comes to mind, for modern steel.
