mack_turtle Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I am getting a new frame, but ETA is two months out. I'm going to spend quality time with my gravel bike in the meantime, but riding a retro 26" bike for a while might also help me pass the time. 17-18" frame, rim brakes, skinny tires?

scattered Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Complete bike or frame? I have a GT Tequesta 26" frame but will have to measure it. It might be a large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I don't think I'll be able cobble together enough parts to build something from the frame up, but let me know what you find out about the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scattered Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I think it's a large so probably won't work for you. 18" to the top tube plus another inch+ to the collar. I do have wheels and parts though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 If you don't get something by the time I am back from CA, you can use my back Vassago Verhauen. It is a Medium, but a "large Medium". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a sweet 18" Fuji on FB marketplace right now, 26" wheels, priced to sell (not mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 It looks like I'm covered for a good modern bike to borrow. Thank you for all the suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
