With the hanger and SunT, the wheel sits farther up than shown. The wheels are the 27 origs. Tires-27 1 1/4 (32-630) It will never be sold-perhaps in a yard sale someday in the hopefully far far future. Other componenets have been changed, so it is no longer stock. Like the bike-would like better shifting. Have decided not to hack off the hanger. Not my intention to tic people off-it must have been done before-was looking for those opinions on how. BTW-thanks for the offer on the dr-but I'll sort this out.
Looking at the photo of the drop out at the beginning, could you not just use thin nut with the proper threading, Loctite that into the recess in the back of the drop out, then bolt on whatever RD you want to. This would have the advantage in that it could always be converted back to the original by removing the nut.
