Looking for a wee touring bike frameset

Hey guys, I'm looking for a 48cm-49cm touring bike frameset. I have my road bike built up like a touring bike, but, it's just not what I need. Steel frame, hopefully a Miyata is out there with my name on it. Let me know if you are selling, or if you know of anything!

A vintage mountain bike would probably work great. I think for a frame that small you'd have to use 26 inch wheels anyway.

I've been very pleased with this bike and its quite affordable price. It handled last week's UPAF/Miller Lite Ride for the Arts 50-mile route quite admirably. I also like its spec and Jamis' design philosophy. Check it out at .

One thing that I discovered about the aurora is that they are sized a little big. I have a 50 and I'm 5'8".

Good luck trying out bikes!

Ah- if only you could find a Miyata 1000 or 1000 LT... Many term this bike as the "finest production touring bike ever made".

Jamis Aurora or Aurora Elite, since Jamis' sizing tends to be a bit large. Jamis also tends to proportion handlebar width, crank length, frame tube diameters, and controls to the seat and top tube lengths. This makes for a consistently good ride no matter how tall the bike gets.

Not sure what size it is, but there is a built up small Long Haul Trucker at Ciclo Urbano.

I know someone trying to sell a 48cm soma smoothie. It's steel but it's road racing frame. Contact me if you're interested in her bike and I'll get you in touch with her.

Ha. I guess it's way way too small.
