Bike build help

[Mentran]

Hi everyone  ,

Next spring I want to start bikepacking through Europe and for that I need a bike.

For my daily commute to work I ride a Koga F3 5.1 S.

This bike has been taken apart and put back together multiple times by me so I have enough experience to build a bike from loose parts.


These are the specs I'd like my new bike to have:


- Aluminium frame

- Disk brakes

- Gates belt drive chain and Rohloff hub



Where do I start to look for a bike like this?

I feel like I have enough experience to know what I want but I dont know what brands make nice frames etc.



If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated!




Thanks in advance,


Mentran

Aluminum and disc brakes are easy to come by, but the split rear triangle to allow you to run a belt is not. So start there. Do a google search for belt drive bikes. There are only a handful of non-custom bikes built that way, and based on where you are, you probably only have access to an even smaller subset of them.
