Road + for a local

Road plus ?  What the h#$%^ is that, you might ask. This frame fills the space between a straight road frame and a CX or gravel frame. The idea is to build something short and quick like a road bike but give it room for the next size larger tire for bad roads and the occasional dirt short cut.

The max tire the bike will take is about 700x35. This sounds like a CX frame but the chain stay is only 415 mm long, 10-15 mm shorter than a typical CX frame so there mon't be room for mud or debris. This frame is made for fair weather riding or for bad weather riding on pavement .

This steel frame weighs 4 lb. 7 oz. and was built for a 6'1" rider.
