Hi All
Looking for advice. I have a 2010 Specialized Rockhopper SL which is now surplus to requirements (it got me back in cycling!), it has Deore gearing and Auriga Pro Hydraulic Disc brakes, Spesh stem, seatpost etc.
I am looking to make some sort of flatbar winter road/crosser/commute thing.
I want to buy a frame that I can mount most of this kit onto, I want a road wheel size (700c?)/29er frame. It needs disc mounts, take guards, possibly rack mounts, fork etc, disc wheels can be bought separately.
On top of all that I want it to be done on a budget, but not be too heavy (I would like to try a few CX races end of next year).
Can anyone suggest frame/fork, be it low cost new (happy to buy online) or used. Disc mounts are essential.
Willing to consider CX/Tourer/29er types.
Any problems I may encounter with moving kit over, BB/seatpost/stem size?
