Please refer to link above for a full description of the frame. It is super-versatile, and can be built up with:
• a rigid or suspension fork,
• 27.5” or 29”er (and therefore also as a mullet), recommended tire size: 29" x 2.4" (or 27.5 x 2.8”)
• It has sliding dropouts and replaceable adapter plates which allow it to be used with through-axles, quick-release skewers, with single-speed, multi-speed, or fixie hubs,
• with or without a front derailleur, and either as a single, double or triple up front.
Folks use these as bikepacking rigs, as well as mountain, road, touring, gravel and whatever other use you can think of. This bike is light for a steel hardtail, is built using Tange Prestige CrMo and has a high quality build as you can see from list below. I put a suspension dropper on it to soften up the big bumps for improved comfort.
