Re: Goofy footed Type 3.
Wonder how many frames will be built with derailleur tabs on the wrong side?

It would look good in My shop! I build HT to the Left but draw blue prints HT right. - Garro.Originally Posted by pruckelshaus

Re: Goofy footed Type 3.
So is there any reason other than maybe personal preference to have the head tube facing left?

I do lots of things because I can...but you don't want me to go into that here. :)
This I did because of customer requests.
I don't think there is any reason other than what you're used to but I have had some right handed welders say it was easier for them to tack & weld with the frame oriented head tube left. It will be interesting to see what the ratio is after we've been selling them for awhile.

Re: Goofy footed Type 3.
I was once told that my headtube-right drawings were "backwards" by a crotchety older builder. IIRC, his rationale for headtube-left was that the drive side bb face was the point from which everything should be aligned and thus should be the reference when the frame is in the jig.
