ISO: Sports touring frame/bike 60-63cm c-c, or: Salsa Casseroll
I've concluded my 60cm 1990 Miyata 1000LT really is too small for me--alas--and now I'm looking for something to replace it for rando riding this season.
If I could find a Salsa Casseroll in my size (~58cm tt), that'd be ideal. But those are tough to come by. Surly Pacer (60cm) also cool.
Otherwise, I'm looking for a frame (or bike) with high-end tubing, 60-63cm ST c-c with a ~58cm top tube. Definitely something with fender mounts. I'd love something that can fit 700x32c tires with fenders, but 28s with fenders could work too. Sport touring geometry a plus. I already have a touring bike, and I'd like this to feel quicker and lighter but still stable enough for long brevets.
Anyone have something that fits? I look forward to seeing what's out there.

I have a 1975 Schwinn Voyageur II frameset I'd like to part with. It is spaced at 126+mm and IIRC I ran 32mm x 700c with fenders and racks. I believe I ran wither a 7 or 8 speed rear wheel. It is 61+cm C-C on the seat tube (almost 63mm C-T) and 58mm C-C on the top tube. It is Chromoly, was made by Panasonic, is fully chromed under chipped silver paint, with chrome lugs. PM me with your email address and I can send you pictures. It's a great candidate for a re-paint or PC and the price will reflect the patina.

Hmm, thanks. The 610 is closest to what I'm looking for, but really looking for high-end tubing (i.e. full 531) or a newer frame. Willing to pay a little more for something special.

Not mine. Looks like a TX500. Good price for what it is. Don't see the green ones too often.

I’ve got a Velo Orange Rando frameset in 59cm ctc. It is in perfect shape with nary a chip or scratch. Has front rack, possibly Tektro brakes and Gran Cru headset and bottom bracket.

Eh, I take it back. The frame I bought was damaged, unfortunately, and is being returned.
Any other frames or bikes out there? Looking to spend up to $500 on the right frame, and proportionately more for a whole bike. Thanks!

I have a garage queen Puch A-D Olympian 62cm c-c Reynolds 531 F/F. Not my size and I'm lusting after some of the parts on this thing......I'm about 60 miles SW of Chicago. I can post pics if this sounds interesting to you.

My Trek 600 series may fit the bill. 58cm c-t-c top tube, 62cm seat tube. Here's my CL ad for it, if you want a bit more ready info. Has one pair of eyelets each front and back, so racks/fenders is doable. Currently wearing 27"x30mm tires. I can part it out if you just want the frame/fork/misc. Paint is so-so, but not horrible. Happy to answer any specific questions not covered in my CL ad. I'm asking a lot less than $500. https://olympic.craigslist.org/bik/d...848880115.html

Thanks. Google suggests 28s plus fenders might not even fit though. Any idea if that's true?

Easy-peasy on the front clearance:
And a little tighter on the rear (brake bridge). I've fitted fenders in tighter spots, for sure, but if you need a lot of extra room to spare, this probably isn't the frame for you.
@Dfrost, whatchoo doing up so late tonight? I'm waiting for one last checkin. But man. I'm ready to hit the hay.
