Greetings all,
I'm presently looking at getting a custom frame built using Columbus Altec aluminium tubing, they conveniently offer a seat tube with a rear wheel cutout. In order to tuck the rear wheel in nice & tight I'd like to use rear-facing dropouts (preferably with adjustable screw stoppers) Columbus only offer 'standard' drop outs. The only other thing I've found so far is track dropouts (with no derailleur hanger)
Does anybody know of manufacturers that offer this type of dropouts for custom frame building?
Also - any consensus on what nominal outside diameter a 700C X 23 tyre has? (it's not 700mm which is what the michelin website suggests...)
Cheers
