Thanks for the bump - after our protracted discussion last night, I was rather disappointed I'd missed this content when it first came about. Seeing all the pics is the icing on the cake! I'm looking forward to the pic of that FD band modification - it's in one of the pics already, but hard to make out the detail of what you believe to be an extra/modified piece.

I hope we find out more here. Those dropouts, if nothing else, certainly are different from the early production Kleins. Nice weight-weenie build across the board so of course I welcome the opportunity to get rid of a few grams of chainring alloy for you
