I'm planning on building a new bike for touring
currently I ride a road bike from 1990 with an Old Man Mountain pannier rack mounted to the quick release
it works 'okay' but the wheel moves around in the dropout if my pannier bags are too heavy
I have a bunch of nice parts to put a new bike together but I need a 58cm steel road/touring frame that has a 1" threaded fork, DT shifter mounts, and eyelets for a proper rear rack
what should I get? I'm willing to spend a few hundred. Surly is the name that keeps cropping up but I heard they are made out of old drain pipes.
any assistance or advice would be appreciated.
if anyone's curious, the parts I have are
>H Plus Son rims
>1980s Suntour Superbe group
>1980s Campy Record hubs and DT shifters
>anodized TTT stem, Cinelli bars
this bike is gonna be beautiful but I can't find a fucking frame
