Hulsroy-
Ha, we'll see. Currently I can't use above 32c as pushing any further back in dropouts causes cassette/chain to foul on the tensioner. Going to see what can be done to adapt / pervert to make it fit as needed.
Another non-brazed solution could be to drill removable hanger and drill / tap track ends and fasten that way. Thoughts?
Saying that, grinding off a braze-on might prove easier than filling holes once I'm bored of this folly and realise I should probably just go and build a bike that's fit for purpose.

Taking a leaf out of the book of @Hulsroy — 1x10 geared Pompino.
X9 shifter on modified swing clamp. Full outer cable (with swish cable tie routing). X7 10 spd derailleur on removable hanger. DT Swiss 350 hubs on th540 rims. The idea being it's easy to swap from 1x10 to fixed just with a wheel / chain / chainring swap.
Needs a bit of fettling still—I want to cold set the spacing when I get a chance—and also put a 36t cassette on, tidy up the baggy cable routing, etc. Still, it's working and fun. Only other drawback at the moment is I can't fit my Challenge 33c's and also have enough room for the tensioner on the removable hanger (the tensioner fouls the cassette / chain if wheel too far back in drop outs).
Now proof of concept done and working, thinking I might as well just get a hanger brazed on ahead of a new paint scheme in the Spring.
