I think your dropouts look great and I would be all over buying them...again, I was just sharing what I have learned. I know Alu is used widly and I am not opposed to using alu at all. I am no expert, that is why I ask engineers and refrence the ASTM book.

Well as I mentioned, my preference is for titanium bullets - at least for the chainstays - but really, they could be made out of anything.

I'm keen to get some feedback on the design, so if anyone wants to weigh-in, please feel free.
