I saw a caliper brake Riv Sam Hillborne frame for sale in my size somewhere for $900 and I hemmed and hawed and missed it, but it got me thinking about a road bike with caliper brakes and 35s (see also VO Rando). So I started looking at the Crust Malocchio and saw this review/write up

Honestly this is so funny

with the Malocchio, long days in the saddle can now include just about any road or trail you encounter thanks to the mullet brake setup, which allows for up to a 42cm tire in front on both the smaller 650b and larger 700c frame variations and a 38cm (650b) or 35cm (700c) rear… Before installing so much as a seat post, I knew I wanted even more tire clearance than the frame allowed. To do this I had the brake bridge removed and re-brazed to match the clearance of the fork, which enabled me to run a 700×42 tire front and rear.
