Pretty slow around here so how about a photo barf
- Garro.
I like this too, especially the ISO disc mount, HZ dropouts and, best of all, NO SLIDERS! Those things are heavy, expensive and in most cases unnecessary. Good job, Mr. Garro!Quote:

I started these dropouts.........man...........much more then a decade + ago, I started using a set of Paul dropouts, a hand cut SS brace, and water jet cut disc mounts I was getting from Rick Hunter and that was a lot of work so I worked with Wade @ Vulture Cycles and we combined all three pieces into one - works flawlessly - also had a derailleur hanger & a rack mount, both of which are removed, easier to remove them then add them
- Garro.
Speaking of Wade, whast's he up to? He's been kind of off the radar for a while ...

So, I have three Columbus OR MAX tube sets - been drawing plans, and I think the best use for them will be to blend the front triangle with it's helical / double ovalized Niobium main tubes (the DT is 41mm x 28mm, 9/6/9, TT = 32x25, 8/5/8, bottom of ST 37x 25 top is round, 9/6, x 27.2 and will have a stylish lug) and a set of Dedacciai chain stays (30x16) and Coconino Fun Stays (for that signature touch) and also to allow a 27.5" x 2.6" tire front and rear - fork will be True Temper NOS blades and either Deda or Tange steerer according to length in 1.125" - some details:
* 29" won't work, mostly because of BB drop & ATC
* Longest top tube length possible is 615mm effective
* 70/73 angles - these can be fudged *a bit* - the DT is only 650mm long
* 45mm drop
* 420 ATC x 47mm rake
* CS length is variable, but I would go with a solid 17" / 430mm
* Can be Coco-Motos, PMW low mount disc, or 135mm verticals with rim brakes.
* Can do rack mounts all around
* A limited run of three with previous clients having 1st dibs.
Frame sets will be fully polished, have head badges, and cost $3K shipped in the CONUS unpainted.
I'm out of here until tomorrow afternoon, let me know what you think.........
- Garro.
Hey Steve, wondering why you put the ISO tab on the seat stay? Can the rear wheel be removed on the track dropout without affecting the caliper? Why not put the brake mount on the chainstay?
These frames really speak to my love of a simple singlespeed without EBB or sliders. Very cool!
Attachment 121945
Yeah, so here is how they work (very well, I have sent out more then 100) is that you loosen both the bolts which hold the adaptor to the frame, insert & adjust the wheel, the caliper will be floating loose on the frame, then when you adjust the wheel straight you just snug the top one a tiny bit and raise the caliper so you have 2mm or so clearance between the caliper & the disc.Quote:

Also a 3rd "anything" on the bottom of the DT - must hold lots of water was a major design parameter - had to curve a special top tube to raise the kicker tube to have god bottle accessQuote:

Beauty! I know the curved TT is a signature look for you but I am a sucker for the classic lines of the straight TT. Can't wait to see it built up!
How do you find those hose braze ons? Is the hose a tight fit inside them so they don't rattle around. I don't think I've experience them before IRL.
I've got the hose braze ons with the rear derailleur and dropper cables under the top tube, no rattle. Straight top tube too.Quote:

Oh yeah! I've had it with those clip-on hose fittings. I cut my "O"s out of 3/8" aircraft tubing and, like you, run the cables/hose under the top tube. Unless I'm running the rear brake internally.Quote:
