My new canvas...
Here she is! The UPS man brought her today.
A 1999 GT Backwoods frame. Picked it up off ebay for $20.50
"100% American Made of 7000 grade Aluminium, Custom Butted" the sticker says.
The downtube diameter is massive and I love the Triple Triangle. It'll slowly turn in to a singlespeed after my "other" bike is finished.

Nice! Does the non-drive side also have a replaceable dropout? You could get some horizontal or track ends milled for ya.

$20? Sh-ite, that's a good deal.
I'm hoping for 26" slicks with a Pace carbon fork and some road drops, a la:
That one tugs at my heartstrings.
