Season’s greetings, group!
*TL;DR:* I’m looking to trade my *Waterford RS-14 frameset <https://photos.app.goo.gl/ifneJexthKUT7Kcw5>* (Stack: 669mm / Reach: 379mm) for a lugged steel frameset with a horizontal top tube, 1" threaded steerer, fork bosses for a basket, and clearance for ~700x48mm tires (rim brake). I picked up this Waterford a couple years ago and it’s been an absolute blast to ride. That said, between a knee injury, kid duties, and some shifting aesthetic preferences, it feels like the right time to pass it along. I’m hoping to find a kindred spirit who’s looking for something a bit more modern and spirited—maybe someone sitting on a surplus of wide-tire, light-touring bikes who’s itching to hit the tarmac. *A little more about the Waterford:* Included in this album <https://photos.app.goo.gl/ifneJexthKUT7Kcw5> is the spec sheet with full geometry details. The bike rides *so* dang well—predictable on descents, stiff where you want it, and definitely happiest when ridden fast. It clears a 35mm tire easily, or 30–32mm with fenders. The frameset would come with a Chris King headset, Wolftooth seatpost clamp, VO Grand Cru brakes and brass barrel adjusters. I’ve also got a variety of other parts I could potentially include (happy to chat about those), but I’d need to keep what’s pictured for now: wheels, saddle, shifters, bottle cages, pedals, and crank. *What I’m looking for:* A lugged steel frameset with roughly similar geometry, but leaning more toward touring. Horizontal top tube, 1" threaded headset, quality steel tubing. Tire clearance of 700x45mm+ is key, along with fork bosses to cleanly mount a Nitto rack + basket. Semi-horizontal dropouts would be a big bonus. Thanks, everyone. Hope you’re all having a fantastic holiday week.
