WTB 52cm - 55cm frame set that is designed for 650b or conversion ready....

Hi. I'm either looking for a Soma GR type deal (or a bit nicer) or a high quality older frame (531) that definitely has the clearances.  Thanks much!

Either one of these seems to fit your parameters reasonably well.

Hi Sean,
Soma has 20 % off this weekend on everything.
I am tempted by the GR too.

Hi Sean Not sure what u mean by conversion ready but I have a 70s libertas f/f w campy droputs and clearance for 650x38. The fork is raked but not low trail. Can take weinmann 999 centerpulls and reach rim. It was stripped and sprayed flat black. no obvious dings. $40 Located in Denver.

Thanks MC

I have a brand new second generation Soma low trail caliper fork, all chrome, (correct length, first batch 10mm to long).  I used the first generation of this fork with extra long calipers to decide whether low trail was my thing.  Then Soma swapped the fork for the second gen fork.  I did decide low trail was good and had a custom built.  Economical way to get some experience.  I would sell it for $110 shipped.
