Konga yoke is on the way so ordered up some more stuff to build frame no 002.
I’ve decided to use a set of chainstays and socket style vertical dropouts that I brazed up as a practice exercise early on and use an eccentric bb to do the chain tensioning. Didn’t realise the Bushnell inserts were so expensive but they seem to be the best way to do an ebb.
Mech hanger has been chopped off the drive side dropout.
Using vertical dropouts means I can add a single mounting point to the underside of the non-drive chain stays for the coaster brake torque arm. Should be more reliable and neater than a slotted mount.
The top and downtubes will be 31.8mm Thron tubes, the seattube will be externally butted Zona. 1 1/8” headtube with a suitably beefy 1.6mm wall, also from the Thron set.
I’ll do segmented seat stays again I think.
