Cynikal: You'll be interested: The dropouts on the Trek are so short that I only have a couple of teeth adjustment space. I went over to Rex Cycles last week to talk to Steve about cutting them out and replacing them with track ends. But that was going to effectively shorten the seat stay, which meant that we'd have to cut out and raise the brake bridge, at which point it would start to run into money. A lot more than the bike is worth. And at this point, I might as well buy a cheap SSCX frame like a Motobecane.

So basically, Steve refused to take my money.
