Thanks. Yes I was expecting that. New wheels, new groupset (full hydraulic). Realistically all I'd be doing on each is keeping the main frame and the stem/handlebars. That's about it. Thanks for the info on the drop-outs. How to they allow for the 142mm spacing, by how they are welded to the stays or by doing something to the stays or a combo of the two?
