This is a frame born to do many things. We built it with a cyclo-cross geometry. What this means is that it can speed you into work on the weekdays, take you on loaded country tours or fun trail rides on the weekend, and - if you like to suffer - race cross in the winter months. We gave it horizontal dropouts so you can run this single-speed, or with a rear derailleur or geared hub. Braze-ons for racks and fenders are a given. A little extra headtube length so you could get the bars a little higher without the dorky spacer stack.
