The Marathon has a severely bent derailleur hanger, and a slightly bent dropout on the right side. My plan is to perhaps make a path racer out of it, maybe with a two speed Bendix kickback I have (in pieces) or perhaps some other IGH. I like the thought of a kickback with no shifter cable. I have other things ahead of that in the line, though, so I'm just hanging onto the frame for now.
