I have 2 Rohloff bikes: a custom Spectrum Ti road bike, with about 100,000 miles (!) -- but I did have to spend $600 for repairs when the seatstay cracked in 2; so much for "lasting a lifetime," but I digress. Also have an MTB, built from a single-speed hardtail with sliding dropouts. This spring, I got a Breezer gravel bike. Since I mostly ride the road bike, I didn't want to spend the money -- or effort -- getting a Rohloff setup. Boy, do I now regret that! After just 8 months -- not much more than 1,000 miles -- I already had to spend $200 for a new Shimano GPX shifter! What freaking garbage! So, any ideas for a Rohloff equipped gravel bike? A search I did only came up with a couple UK builders/shops, with prices well over $5,000, NOT including shipping and tariffs. Since I don't do gravel too often, I'm not spending that much. Guess I would have to build it up from scratch. (Unless I found something used.) Any ideas on a suitable frame? A SS with sliding dropouts would obviously be the most ideal, but I suspect that doesn't exist. Don't want to spend the money for a custom.
