If I did direct mount, I'm not sure what dropouts I would use.
I ordered the chainstays and the brake mount. Have to figure out what dropouts to use. I think the drawings must not be to scale?
I looked at those Columbus flat mount stays and decided to stay away from them. They basically lock you into a single spot that your dropout can attach and be the proper distance from the brake mount. At that point, you have to cut from the other end of the stay to get your desired length and hope that it lands in the right spot on the bottom bracket with proper tire clearance.
