I'm very impressed by the Nomad Mk III. It looks like it could do everything I want, and much more. I wasn't really aware of Thorn before, so thanks for the tip.

The only downside I see is a 130mm spaced rear hub, but if you keep your weight down that should not be a problem. A steel frame tfor that large of a size might be a bit soft, but great price and if the weight is kept to a minimum it could be great.
Thanks, this looks like another decent option I hadn't heard of, and the 64cm would fit me pretty well.
