I am mostly interested in multi day trips without any support or food drops. So I need to go with big panniers mostly.<br />- switching to 27.5 x 4.5 would be nice<br /><br />Currently I figured the new Surly ICT and the finnish Pole Taiga do most of the jobs. Although front rack mounts like the Surly are still to be found on other frames.<br /><br />Any other stock frame suggestions?<br /><br />Thank you for this phenomenal blog!<br />Kristofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943627808770318379.post-2023829873929679282017-11-02T03:50:22.805-06:002017-11-02T03:50:22.805-06:00Thanks very interesting blog!Thanks very interesting blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943627808770318379.post-82480359324060747242017-11-01T18:55:42.628-06:002017-11-01T18:55:42.628-06:00Good question Paul.
