It just happened to work out. I found that magic gear. The dropouts are also semi-horizontal(or is it semi-vertical)? so that helps a bit. I like the idea of going to simple clipless pedals, though here's just something classy about toe clips and leather straps.

^ i bet that if you get some non-insanely-long bullhorns you won't need to have your saddle that far forward.

you put a tri-spoke wheel on a 27inch conversion?
it looks like you laced your lovely phil hub to cxp22's? I love my cxp22's but they are not deserving of a phil hub.

History of my bike! I did basically all the work on the bike myself, aside from building the wheels (which I have since rebuilt and trued a bunch)
...
It's been so much fun to ride and I love being on it... I commute, do all my shopping, race, do tricks and do distance traveling on this bike. Some day I'll scrape some real $$$ together and build a few different bikes, each one specialized to the tasks I use it for, but for now, I love having one very versatile bike!

I wonder from where do I measure the lenght? From the hole down to the middle of the wheel or?
I dont have the clue, but thanks alot wearyourtruth for helping me out... I've tried to get some bike parts here in iceland, but it is hopeless
And it is so expensive to buy parts and ship them over, I can double the price when it has arrived
