Hi Michael,
You may want to consider the Nitto Dynamic (I'm assuming that's their
normal road stem). It comes in a 6cm extension. It has a short quill --
145mm -- which may be what you're looking for. From the minimum insertion
point, you've got 78mm to the top of the stem.
(I've found that,
If you don't mind the lack of lugs, a mid-90s Trek 850 is a great bike. I'm
sure there are other chromoly frames from that era that would work equally
well. As others have said, watch for the long top tube, though. You'll most
certainly need to replace the stem with something shorter in any

So far Sneaker pedals, (non-sanded) Dirt Drop, Albastache and wheelset are
spoken for.

I haven't really given it a foul-weather test, but I believe this is more
wind than water proof (designed for cold Swedish winters)... The cotton
feels like a fairly tight weave, which I believe might fare better at
repelling water in a light rain than wool... but I wouldn't wear it out
Bob,
A canvas shell works best at 20˚F or colder, the idea being highly
breathable to allow vaporization from exertion while being windproof and
shedding snow easily. If it's wet from the outside, so it the canvas.
That's why I love Ventile, as it accomplishes both, so temp does not matter.
Here's are a few more pictures of the Roadeo from last weekend while out on

As mentioned, top tubes are what will limit your choices. Would a Hillborne
work, or is the TT too long?
If not, how about a Salsa Vaya? Smaller sizes have 26 wheels and fit 50mm
tires. Is the 50cm TT too long?
Thanks so much for the trail bike suggestions to date. I'd love to invest
