michael is asking for a plain jane road bike with fat tires

but he “needs” that for perfectly paved ODOT country highways

so he’s in a real bind here

982

Do plain jane road bikes have boingy forks?

983

Cannondale Slate?

984

Cmon, too easy

Braden can you just post the hooked carbon 650b rims here?

985

Why don’t you just tell us what you think. Well tell you it’s a bad idea. Then we can move beyond this vague unicorn search questioning.

986

100mm 29er squish fork
70deg ht
74deg st
440-450mm cs
Tt something like 620 (I’m 6’1)
Bb drop like 5.5-6

China carbon frame and a lauf?

989

now we’re cookin

990

I think a longer rear end will assist in climbing

991

Basic chinacrabon 29er would be close:

100mm 29er squish fork
70deg ht
72 virtual angle st, based on drawings it’s closer to 74 effective
435mm cs
Tt 615
Bb drop 61

992

Huh, really?
Do you have a link?

993

Like this

There might be better vendors to work with, I don’t follow the market. AliExpress might be an option too.

994

This one is about the same but with longer stays.

995

Friend just dropped one off for a build. He did a ton of research before buying. I’ll ask him which one he got. I know he paid about $450

996

Awesome because $400 is about what nice steel tubes cost

997

ITT: Miguel learns that he doesn’t need a custom biek for every biek.

998

There, I fixed it.

Tf is wrong with having a custom bike? I employ someone, I learn something new?
