I'm going to have my beloved '85 T760 repainted over the winter, by my local expert. I'm wondering about having vertical drops installed, as I've had a few occasions where the rear wheel has come loose. This happens at the absolute wrong times, either on steep climbs or on bumps in the wet during "fast organized rides".

Is this possible, and a workable idea for a bike that is ridden a lot (not any sort of show bike)?

Thx,

CM
