Replacing Dropouts
I'm going to replace the dropouts on my cro-mo Giant road bike with horozontal "track" dropouts. I'm going to fabricate the dropouts myself. I'm doing it with a friend who knows a hell of a lot about machining and TIG welding, but not a lot about bikes. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing, but I'm looking for any good advice I can get because this is the bike I make money on so screwing up isn't really an option.
Thanks,
Gretchen
