Tsunami SNM4130 can fit 42c. Maybe also include which ones are steel or alu ?
Benetti, Pizzicato U1
Wait, there’s more than 5 makes of frames?
😜
Nice work
Great post, thx!!!
I guess we may include even steel 8bar, Introtech
On my Dolan precursa I’ve got 32s in the rear and use a different form to get 32s up front too
Omnium cxc
Should post this on tracklocross as well!
darkside mannheim clears 32s comfortably
On one pompino. I have 40s on mine but still have room for more
This is great
Impressive!
You can add Affinity Lo Pro to the 32mm group
You real for this.
Allez fits 32s
Add the MKE Bruiser! Stated clearance on the newer model is 40c. I’ve fit as wide as 45c slicks, and am currently running a 42c knobby up front tho…

Origin8 Fix 8 clears knobby 38s for me but only with the wheel toward the back of the dropout. I don’t use the stock fork so I couldn’t say.
Rip the bigblock and steamroller.
Great list! I will bookmark this for my next commuter build. Gotta have fenders in PDX. Two more tracklocross frames maybe worth including.
Bianchi San Jose (at least 32c clearance)
Motobecane uno cross (42c clearance)
Cinelli Mash SSCX takes 45mm
All City Nature Boy and Surly Cross Check can both be run fixed with huge tires.
but i like barely squeezing my 25c in my unknown frame
This entire post alone should be in the Buying Guides section of the sub as an update.
The current one is 4 years old.
