What frames currently exist that meet these two constraints? So far I have the Seigla. Not interested in 650b, trimming tires, or rubbing paint and carbon layers off the inside of forks and chainstays.

Based on the Seigla comment, presumably this is “gravel” bike focused? Probably worth clarifying in the title and body text.

Also probably need to clarify if you are looking for frames that “officially” fit 2.2 tires, or if you are OK with frames where they simply fit. For example, the Felt Breed will accommodate 2.2’s, but is only officially rated for 2.0 / 50mm tires. Similar story for the Santa Cruz Stigmata…official…

If you don’t like how they fit on an Enve Mog, which is rated for 50mm, then you probably wouldn’t like how they fit on any other 50mm rated bike. If I had no constraints on wait time, I’d get the Baum DBM hands down. I also wanted titanium but went with a mosaic gt-1 45 which is rated at 45 in the…

Stigmata is too close. At least one person on the FB owners group has shown rub and damage on the right chainstay with race king 2.2s.
