Hi
I posted on the road forum to ask about Di2 suitability for winter, sounds like it is ok.
Now I realise I would need a a Di2 frame and would really like internal cables with no mechanical cable stops, but must have mudguard/rack mounts. Discs optional.
I can't find a pure Di2 winter frame, is there such a thing?
(I can get alloy frame for mechanical for £200 but looks like I might need super expensive Ti custom to get what I describe!)
Regards
Alan

Thanks for comments, apologies for late reply, I have been posting in the Road forum. I don't think there is any Di2 cross/road frame with guard/rack/disc mounts.
Niner have the RLT which might be ok. I am finding out more about it.
Thanks Mike but I do not want to drill holes in a frame.
Marsbarm thaks also, The Crockett has really nice internal cabling grommets but I don't see guard and rack mounts. The search continues...

Trek Boone. Heavy, but ticks the boxes.
But hole drilling is probably 100x cheaper

Thanks, I can't see any guard or rack mounts on boone, do Trek have a model with these?

Boone does have the mounts, check Trek's website (and I can confirm that as well).

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply, Trek's Boone 9 website shows some really good features including nice Di2 holes.
The hidden rear guard mounts are very cool but are there any rack mounts up on the seatstays? How does the front of the rear guard attach?
Do you think different Boone models offer different mounts?
Very grateful for any thoughts. I can't see anything else other than the Boardman CXR 9.8 which only has a single guard/rack mount under the seatstay bridge. Might be ok for a Tubus Fly but I would lose some tyre clearance.

Yes, small screws on seatstays.
Front of the rear guard: 2 large screws on the back of seattube.

wow, thanks. I have not seen this before and it looks great BUT only for 28mm tyres and I am wanting bigger tyres for kerb hopping etc. Lovely spec on this frame.
