I'm living in Astoria. It rains here. All the time.

The rain bike will have

  • Soma Wolverine unicrown fork
  • Rohloff 500/14 Speedhub (32 hole) with Co-motion shifter
  • DT Swiss 350 front hub (32 hole) 15mm through axle centerlock disc
  • Velocity Quill rims 32 hole black
  • DT Swiss Competition 2.0 double butted spokes
  • DT Swiss 12mm nipples
  • Magura MT-8 Pro Carbon hydraulic disc brakes
  • Magura Storm 160mm rotors
  • Gates CDX sprocket stainless steel 19t
  • Gates Carbon Drive CDX belt 155t x 1265mm
  • Weird kind of drop bars with 31.8mm center section
  • Continental Gatorskin black 700x28 tires
  • Continental standard tubes
  • Interloc Racing Design 1-1/8" headset
  • Dimension stem 80mm x 83/97 degree 31.8mm
  • Ritchey classic 2 bolt seatpost 27.2mm x 350mm
  • Thomson seatpost clamp 29.8mm
  • Fenders, I think I have a set leftover from the Raleigh Alyeska
  • Rear rack? The Davidson Discovery set up with a small rack and Carradice bag has been great. I have many frames in storage right now. Maybe the Tubus that came on the Longbikes Slipstream?

I bought virtually every part for it except... the FRAME. It is backordered. It's supposed to get a Soma Wolverine frame but... supply chain... sigh...

I already have a Soma FORK but no frame so... find a different frame?

It has to accommodate the Gates / Rohloff drivetrain so... build a frame?

I still need to finalize the bottom bracket and crankset and chainring. The issue is picking parts that will give me the correct chainline for whatever frame I get.
