Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Gravel bike for commuting
« on: May 07, 2026, 07:06:59 AM »
Hi,
I'm looking for a frame for commuting with some special features. I live in Sweden so I need space for big tires during the snowy and icy winter. I'm going to use drop bars and a 1x sram force group set. I ride a lot of road bike so I'm quite used ta an agressive position. I'm also going to use mud guards and a rear rack. I haven't found the perfect frame (yet). Can you help me out with a suitable frame that would meet the following requirements:
- Good looking carbon gravel frame
- UDH rear derailleur hanger
- At least 50 mm tire clearance
- Mudguards mounts (both in the front and in the rear)
Nice to have:
- Bridge mounts for the rear mudguard
I will use the Ortlieb Thru Axle M6-Connector (https://de.ortlieb.com/en/products/thru-axle-m6-connector) so that I don't need to use frame eyelets for the rear rack.
Hit me with your suggestions! When the build is finished I will post the project here.
