Hi all.
Basically im looking to make the change over from racing bikes to touring, and would love your help.
I am currently cycling a 56cm cannondale supersix with a sram apex/force setup, which i love!
Unfortunately this is in no way equipped for touring. I am also very low on money so am cannot build one from scratch. what ive been thinking is... Sell my supersix frameset and use the money on a steel touring frame which can take my sram setup?
I've been thinking of the surly lht's but as my supersix is pushing on the large size, i'd be better suited to a 54cm for a better fit. These unfortunately not being available with 700c wheels!!!
...so
Are there any steel framesets (up to £500) which i could get in a 54/55cm and take 700c wheels????
as i'm really struggling finding any.
(also if i could i love a custom built, but only really know of yates as this is all new to me)
(i'm 5,10", with a 32 inseem and short torso )
