drilling dropouts, and other questions
 

so i building a old schwinn world
its horizontal dropouts but short ones, and im planning on running a flip flop hub.

is it common practice to drill or dremel out the filled section of the dropout?

is there a easy way to go about it, any writeups?

also im concern about getting the right chainline with my set up :(

the wheel set is a flip flop hub whell set from a redline 925...
using the stock bottom bracket i'll be running bulletproof cranks, should i have any problems how will i be able to space things out if need it??

last thing the frame i'm building is a 58cm, the drop bars i have are from a 54 which makes me think theyre to small. not sure what bars i want to run in the future. but for time being what kinda measurements should i check to make sure the bars are a good fit for me??

Drop outs:
Post pics, if they are the dropouts I think they are (They look like horizontals with most of the dropout filled in), you should be fine filing them out. You only need about 1/4" of back to forth movement.

Chainline: Need the rear wheel spacing, BB length, and Sheldon Brown's site should get you close.

Bars: Ideally they should be shoulder width.

yeah its what your thinking, its basically a long dropout but filled leaving only a small section still usable.
ok any idea how to go about drilling it out.

as far as my chainline goes im just wondering if with what i have will I or my lbs be able to play around with it to get a good chainline or am i looking at a new bb and stuff.

ok i'll measure the bars. what you guys think about drop bars for commuting(first time fixie and road rider)

My LBS did mine, if I remember correctly they charged me like $12.00 :) looked something like this.

your lbs did what for 12 bucks...pic no workie

You could probably find a small ish hand file and handfile em out. good ole elbow grease should do the trick. If you have a dremel tool that could work well too. As far as your chainline, you can probably get close by putting the chainring on the other side of the cranks you would normally and or using some washers to space it a bit more, or you could measure it with your current bottom bracket, figure out the difference and drop 30 bucks into a bottom bracket that fits the chain line. I think your chainline will probably run 45mm i think, unless you run the freewheel side, in which case it might be different.
