The Rosco Bubbe frames have horizontal dropouts. Put that coaster on one!

I've got this sitting around waiting for Riv to do a coaster brake frame:

And a bucket of grease- especially a Campy bucket of grease- is just an amazing

I had forgotten about it (not in the sense I was suprised it was there but in 
the sense I hadn't thought about it in years). I got it at a much different 
time in my life and it just never got built. I probably have all the parts in 
the bin. I fell in love with the Nitto Humble seat post and this bike was built 
around that post and a pair of XTR brake levers. 

It will get built this winter. 

Cheers!
Chris

Chris,
-20 and 4 feet of snow? And you're not building that thing? Shame!

Patrick, therein lies the problem small US parts makers encountered in the rear 
derailer market: It may be cool and funky-looking and light (my Pro-Shift is 
very light), but it was never going to shift any better than a much less 
expensive XT mech. Then Shimano popped out 9-speed XTR and the game was over.

That's the one; thanks. I didn't realize it was WI, tho' it does fit with
their high end and elegant products like the ENO hub and DOS fw.

I seem to recall reading praises for its performance, the defects as listed
in DG notwithstanding. Still, it's obviously a complicated solution to a
problem, if problem it was, much easier solved by simpler means, like I
suppose the 8-speed era Deore XT rd.

I've used the Pro-Shift on several bikes. It worked fine with Shimano trigger 
and Silver friction shifters, I've just run out of bikes to mount it on.

Patrick, are you referring to the White Industries LMDS? 
http://www.disraeligears.co.uk/Site/White_Industries_LMDS_derailleur.html

I've never laid hands on any of the deraileurs produced in the U.S. during 
the CNC boom, but none of them seemed to have a very good reputation for 
effectively moving a chain across gears. Neato looking bits though ...

More neat things. I see that these are not the short lived desmodromic
(in/out by cable action and not spring) US made rd that came out in the
late '80s or very early '90s; does anyone remember those?
