Who makes a stock fixed/SS frameset with ......
... and a 61-62 top tube, big tire clearance (44s?) and rim brakes?
The the old All City Nature Boy and Riv Quickbeam/Simple One come close, but good luck finding one. I currently have an '72 Mondia conversion that barely clears 35s, but would like to return it into an Eroica rig. I'm looking to use my Snoqualmie Pass 44s and build up with parts I have on hand so disc is not curently viable. A BMC MonsterX or similar would work, but I'd prefer a proper fixed with no extraneous braze-ons. Last edited by donevwil; 10-23-2019 at 02:04 PM. |

Surly steamroller, 61cm ETT iirc, and best of all Fatties Fit Fine!
Have had two of them and highly recommend. |

Steamroller gets you 38s without brakes, I think.... or a 650b x 47:

Hmm, how did I miss the Steamroller? Definitely in the ballpark. Brakes are a must, this would be my commuter. 38s with mid reach brakes according to Surly?
Anyone know the clearance of a canti Nature Boy? |

My Nature Boy cleared 43c Bruce Gordons, never tried a 45. Depending on your brakes you may have to deflate to pull the wheels out past the pads. |

You have a canti Nature Boy? 44 Snoqualies only measure 42 so I should be good.

If you are ok with cross-ish geometry (as noted by the Nature Boy), the Surly Cross Check has the TT you're looking for.
Black Mountain Cycles MX also has a 61cm TT in their largest size. My Nature Boy canti fit BG RnR's. |

There's also the Cinelli Mash Work if you can find one.
The market for these largely went away or went to discs. Last edited by tctyres; 10-23-2019 at 03:21 PM. |

It's not fancy, but I think the Mercier Kilo WT fits your bill...

Yes, I clearly missed the window for canti braked framesets. Thanks, a 61cm canti Nature Boy appears to be the best fit. Guess I'll keep keeping an eye out. Quote:

I have a bikes direct Mercier Kilo WT that I use as a fixed gear ice bike (with brakes). Rides a lot like my old crosscheck.

I think Cinelli does produce some XXL framesets, though they don't advertise them. You might follow up with Cinelli USA to see if any are available. https://www.cinelli-usa.com/tutto-plus-frameset/ |
