Rim brakes, 28mm tyres, and mudguards? Frame recommendation?

kil0ran · 2018-01-15T20:56:40+00:00

As the title - I'm looking for a road frame on the race-side of the performance/comfort envelope that will run rim brakes (caliper or canti is fine) but will take a 28mm tyre with guards. Not too bothered as to frame material but I'd like it to be a lightweight build. Current rim-braked bike is a shade over 10kgs and only takes 23s with guards and my tourer is probably north of 15. Looking for something that will do for fast 20-milers on New Forest "roads" but mudguards are pretty essential. Ideally frameset rather than full bike. £1k for the frameset, doesn't need to be new. Any options come to mind?

Kinesis 4S Disc frameset? It

Kinesis 4S Disc frameset? It can also run (57mm drop) rim brakes. Old stock of 4S (non-disc) still out there in limited stock – and nicer colour scheme – if you rummage about.
