tarck should i buy this crappy frame?

Truth. My two main disc wheelsets both have cracked spoke holes, in about the same mileage and conditions that the rim would need to be replaced if they were rim brake. Modern disc bikes ride like such shit anyway. I say go for it, the frame, more importantly, the fork rides good, and it’s relatively cheap as fuck right now.

Get on that Bontrager kick and re-roll your own rims if it comes down to it :metal:

idk, Pacenti Brevets make this pretty easy.

Serious question, why not an 80s/90s mountain bike?

because thats not what hes looking for

the adventure 2 was manufactured in 650 but seemingly only for the surly pack rat

THIS IS FALSE

Rim brakes are great (until they eat the rim) (or get wet) !
