BTRB- big tire road bike in steel with fork

Here's a solution to bad roads in your neighborhood- a road bike that is able to run up to 700x33 tires without being a gravel bike. The frame will have longer reach caliper brakes -this makes it an easy conversion of you have a road bike to strip down- all you would need are a pair of 47-57 reach calipers and some larger tires .

The fork has a Pacenti design 'Mitsugi' crown. I bought heavily on these a couple of years ago and really like working with them. They take a 1-1/8" steerer so that you don't have to go retro on the stem or headset.

This one has fittings for fenders as it will probably wind up seeing all sorts of weather and conditions.
