Gates Carbon Drive compatible frame
« on: May 19, 2026, 02:18:24 AM »
Hey guys,
I'm searching for a frame to build my daily bike from.
I want fender- and rack mounting points and compatibility with rohloff and gates carbon drive, material of the frame is secondary although I'd prefer either carbon or titanium.
At least 40mm tires, preferably more.
Does anyone have an idea if this kind of frame exists?

Cheers!

You could reach out to Walty to see if they can build you a Ti bike with a split frame to pass the belt:

I don't think I've ever seen a carbon bike with a split frame, it's a major vulnerability in the frame that would need to be designed around with carbon.

I remember one carbon frame with a belt opening, Rose Bikes had the CPTL for a few months.
Thanks for the recommendation on the titanium frames, gotta contact them.
