Dropout-style is up to Keven and Brian--as are many-most-maybe all of the other stuff. Fixie fanatics will feel perturbed if it has verticals, and yet the arguments for verticals are good, too---. I will look things over, and have coached K and B minorly in frame design stuff--how to determine drop, how seat tube angle and it affect standover, and just some basics like that, but both are smart, both understand the nature of the bike and goal, and I'm looking forward to it. It may not happen--remember that---after a certain point, if we have to compromise too much to get the price where we want it to be, we'll just say, "Not for us" and be done with it. We're not exactly "going after" Surley. We are all Surley fans here, and continue to recommend those bikes--and the Salsa Mariachi, and other relatively low-priced not dumb bikes. The LHT shouldn't be threatened by this bike---it'll be a different deal. Obviously they or any other two half-practical bikes can be set up to do the same stuff, but this is the bike we'd be doing whether or not those neat bikes existed. Good luck, Keven and Brian!
