Yea I guess I could see the issue there because they come out a bit off the frame, but they are plated with another metal on one side and just generally look strong. Plus the guy I got it from is a bit bigger than me and rode hard. So I guess if they aint broke yet then they might not break.
The whole frame just generally feels good to me (and it was free) so I want to stick with it.
If anyone has had an issue with an older model Cannondales "outrigger" dropouts actually flat out breaking on them? Let me know!
