Not updating the title of this just yet, but I've been in talks with a local frame builder to have the frame modified this winter. It's taken nearly a year to get around to it, but I'm glad I waited as my needs and tastes have changed in that time.
The agreed upon checklist is as follows:
Replacing the BB shell with an oversized one to run an eccentric BB for chain/belt tensioning
Braising a torque stud onto the NDS dropout for a Rohloff OEM2 torque arm.
Adding guides for dynamo wiring
Adding guides & stops for Rohloff routing
Adding a break in the DS seatstay for Belt Drive
I already have the money set aside for the frame mods, but the shop doesn't work on outside frames until winter time. After that the hope is that the following spring I'll be able to secure a Rohloff for this bike with my tax return.
That sounds great. Do you ride it a lot? Personally I'd only buy a Rohloff if I knew I was going to ride that bike near enough 100% of the time I ride.
