My rad Rawland Nordavinden disc (prototype) in 55cm for a 56cm or 57cm steel\/ti bike with lightweight tubing that fits at least 38mm tires with fenders and has mid fork mounts (and ideally crown mounts too).

I've talked to people close to Nordavinden who tell me Sean built a lot of prototypes before settling on each model, and this must been an early rendition of the Nordavinden. My suspicion is it was too similar to the Sogn in this format before they launched the production version as a road-oriented, rim brake and narrow tire randonneur. This one though, is solidly a low trail gravel bike closer to a Crust Romanceuer than the production Nordavinden. It is running 650x42 tires with fenders, and fits 650x48 without fenders. It's tubing is 8\/5\/8 Columbus Zona makes it planes VERY well. It is a workhorse on gravel and makes a wonderful commuter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Top tube: 55cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Seat tube: 50cm (center to top of seat tube)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Head tube: 155mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Chainstays: 425cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Head angle: ~73 degree\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Seat angle: ~73 degree\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Paul Klamper brakes in 3DV purple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Wheelset: SON dynamo \/ DT Swiss 240 hubs, WTB KOM i23 Built by Stoic Wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Rene Herse Switchback Hill Ultralight 650x42\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Edelux 2 \/ Son rear light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Sim Works \/ Honjo turtle fenders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Nitto Campee rack w\/ Wald 137 basket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Thomson cockpit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Chris King headset\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Ultegra 10s groupset\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat I'm seeking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLightweight steel or ti gravel\/randonneur\/all-road\/cyclocross bike with clearance for at minimum 38mm tires with fenders (biggest I would run is 650bx48 but 38-42 is probably enough).
