The idea (to my mind) is you buy a singlespeed frame with the possibility
built in that it can handle fixed if you ever want to try it. I think if
Grant used forward facing dropouts he'd get endless comments about how
they're facing the wrong way on that type of frame. He's already getting
Forward-facing, semi-horizontal dropouts of olde are okay for chill single
speed use but agree, not recommended for fixed gear because they tend to
slip forward during either hard acceleration or hard deceleration. With
track ends, the alignment screws prevent this. That said - I don't think

If Riv wants to sell singlespeed frames to the singlespeed market it's
going to be with track ends. Most fixie folks wouldn't accept
forward-facing horizontal dropouts.

I was just flipping through the Tour De France: Centennial history and
looking at 1920s and early 1930s photos; the bikes seem to have multiple
clusters, perhaps just 2 cogs, on each side of the hub.
I couldn't find a photo of the Roaduno; can anyone post a link or a

To address the Chain Line Question. Assuming if you have a PERFECT Front
Chain Line (FCL) with the triple (middle ring lines up with middle cog),
then If you with:
Option 1, remove Outer ring, the FCL needs to shift INWARDS, 1/2 of
the spacing between the middle and inner ring. This is

Paging Eric Marth...this is basically what I was suggesting as a freehub
option for a 70s steel frameset, avoiding the cold-set to 130mm.
Bill, I take it that you had to use narrower spacers than standard, and use
friction shifting (or 10-speed indexed with the high and low shifter
positions
Exactly, Garth. I continue to run triples, so I have viewed the trend toward purportedly simpler drivetrains with curiosity and from a long distance. I have never felt a need to simplify with a double or especially a 1x configuration. It’s basically a one-time setup for the triple, and with
How about I get a SRAM Wireless RD, so we don't need any stinking cable

how to cobble a 9 out of 12 onto a 120mm cassette hub. That would be

Along the lines of what exliontamer expressed, the bowed out stays of
frames like the Bomba and Atlantis don't lend themselves to fufu trendy
gearing configurations. Since your current crank isn't broke don't go out
to fix it. There is certain efficiency and effectiveness in a 110/74 crank
I had similar responses to my post. Eduardo wanted to sell me an Atlantis
MIT frameset for $600.

Greetings all,
I posted a want ad yesterday for an Albastache bar and got a couple responses
from people I’ve never seen here before. I do know there are lurkers on the

It’s a shame we have to worry about
Speaking from experience, that Ritchey with the 94bcd is not going to give
you a good chainline as a double unless you get something very small.
People always throw out numbers for the Road & the 110bcd Triple & I
promise that it's different. I'm running one with a 46/30 combo on my old

Great resource - nice to have all the numbers in one place.
As for stated tire clearances - it may vary from model to model (Roadini's

Platys fit 55s without issue; I'm running 50s (measuring a full 2") with

Judging from the pics of fendered Platys I've viewed (and the

And, the website no longer shows a 60cm option for the GBW frames.
