Kaben, check out a Dolan DF4 (or DF3). They are pretty long, low, and affordable. Yes, there are some known issues - some have seat post slippage, but if you torque to spec (17-19nm) it's not a huge issue. And yes, the dropouts are short on the newer version.
Cheers Topflight, the Dolan actually looks like a real contender with 451 reach. The stack is very low though which means I will have a bunch of spacers but that’s not the end of the world. I would love something with slightly more reach but it seems only the Felt Tk FRD will get me the 460 reach of the peg but it doesn’t retail in the UK.
have been looking at the fifty point one custom frames but the geo chart for the size 23 which gives me that long reach has some very strange numbers in it - the seat tube is absolutely colossal at 716mm for example and the stack is also massive at 600mm. It doesn’t sound right and I can’t picture it in my head.
