Bottle opener
So I finaly got my hands on an old road frame to build up. It has semihorizonal drop outs. I plan on welding on trackends.Should I use track drops with a built in bottle opener,or mount a traditional opener on the down tube for the seat?

how good pbr tastes is directly proportional to how big of a container you're drinking it out of. It tastes best in metal, then plastic then glass. From best tasting to least best tastin:
Kegstand
Tallboy
12 oz can
Solo Cup
Beach Friendly Plastic Twist off bottle
40 oz
Pub glass
glass bottle
Kegstand
Tallboy
12 oz can
Solo Cup
Beach Friendly Plastic Twist off bottle
40 oz
Pub glass
glass bottle

I was watching "The Greatest Show On Earth - (The Story of The 1974 Giro d'Italia)". In that race, the "Water Boys" are allowed to raid any of the convenience stores on the route, and make off with whatever soft-drinks they can carry. There followed a sequence when one chap was riding along, attempting to open a bottle by trying to knock the cap off using the top of the stem as an anvil. After many unsuccessful attempts, he eventually opened the bottle with his teeth! Arrrrggggghhhhh!

you should weld a bottle opener to a barend plug so you can pop the top while you ride.
