My frame is cracked, so it’s time to retire my beloved steed. I need a new do-it-all bike. Needs to be steel, come in a size for petite riders (I’m 5’1”/155cm), 700c wheels (would like to run anything from 28mm to 41mm tires), drop bars. I guess I’ll probably have to upgrade to disc brakes. I used the surly for commuting, long joy rides around the city or country roads, crushed gravel/dirt rail trails, bikepacking, even some lite single track. Just want to hear from folks more knowledgeable about what’s out there. TIA.
