that frame has never been ridden. Sort of sad. I should probably get it powder coated and hang some parts on it. I am sure the rear end is 126mm spacing though.

I really like the way those caps came out. I have seen people that make them a lot stubbier, and I don't like that as much. When I was at Trek, someone brought in a (German?) frame that belonged to a friend. It was pretty amazing. It had similar style of caps, except the way they did it formed a hollow at the top of the stay. I have been thinking about doing something similar ever since. A couple of weeks later, Mike Apple made a frame with this style of cap and I never felt guilty copying him since I knew where he got the idea. I never saw it before that, but I think it's likely that someone had previously used this style. Nothing is new, same was true back in the '70s.
