I am looking at building a new bike, Frame up, 650b, Retro parts as much as possible (starting with stronglight cranks, m737 cantis, Paul levers, either 1x10 or 2x9 thumbshifters)
It’s also going to be lugged, hence the question (partly...)
So, lugs restrict the geo options a bit, but I reckon I can do 69/70 head, 74 seat, clearance for 2.3” knobblies. Forks will use a Marzocchi bolt in crown (96/97) with custom legs (current plan anyway...!?!)
Is it heretical to have lugs, cantis and ahead?
Basically I’m looking to have a retro inspired bike with more modern geo which will be set up as an off-road tourer/Bike packer.
Any thoughts?
