Mixte fixie. If I do anything, I probably will get someone to respace the 2003 Curt bike to 120-125 mm OL to accommodate that AM hub; the hub is spaced at 114, but the axle is long enough to take 5 mm of spacers on each end; though will have to adjust shifting adjustment accordingly. We'll see. Will first have to send hub to Aaron's Bicycle Repair to get it checked out. I'll probably end up thinking about it all for another year.
