its a compact road/cross crankset and yea I was shocked to find the chainline (even with the ring on the outside) was nearly perfect... still need to ID the creaking every time i pedal hard though...

Are those dropouts strong? (duuuuh......they just looked......like they had a little less material in the 'holes') but so far, it sounds like you guys really like this frame and it sounds like a quality frame from what ive heard so far.
Lol. sounds way lighter than a Pake track.
Lol. Keep it up man. Nice bike.......I wanna build a a time-trial-ish bike off of this frame (bullhorns + aeros lol?)
I used to wonder about cutouts like that until I read a blog about a guy who thought the same thing and decided to find out. He found out that there was no loss of strength. I'm also 250lbs and trust them fine...
I usually use bullhorns too but spent a while on my utility bike and my polo bike, both of which have the small risers and got kinda frond of them... also wanted a to toy with some tarkiness and see what it was all about LOL!

btw.....the shape of the tubing looks sexy. Kinda nice to see something that you don't see everyday. Lol. I mean cuz aero frames you see every once in a while, but like that kind of tubing is nice. Who agrees?
To me it was like the Jamie Roy style wise but made of steel. I was sad Iro stopped making them... Also So far I have only seen one other of these here in town, so I get to feel special
