I know the frame will be a 68mm English BB, I haven't built the frame yet, it will be May/June time.
I want to build the chain stays wide enough to get a 40/45mm tire, but being 700c, I don't want to make the rear triangle extra long to try and have the tire circumference outside the chain ring diameter. That works on cast/machined/forged shapes on MTB's but the new frame material is bamboo and can't be manipulated like a block of alloy or steel
