  • Muddy Fox Trailblazer Aluminium. Super fun! Not quite finished: could use a nicer stem and seatpost, and I'm reminded how superlatively awful cantilever brakes are. If I can fit mini-Vs around the tyres, perhaps a better option.

  • It does! Campy 10-speed brifters pull the right amount of cable, when used with an "Exact Actuation" Sram derailleur, to work with a 10-speed Shimano or Sram cassette. The brifter's cable pull varies very slightly across the gears, whereas the cassette spacing is constant, but the variation isn't enough to cause any problems. I used a 9-speed Shimergo setup for years, and this is just as good.

    It's all done for cost - Campy shifters are cheaper than Shimano, Sram derailleurs are cheaper than Campy, and Shimano cranks are cheaper than either.

  • Didn't know these existed!

    First thing i did was google this, don't look to be very common...

    I'd been looking for a canti / V-brake frame to fit wider tyres for ages

    Me too for my gf, it's surprisingly difficult to find something that isn't a retro mtb. My old canti caadx now seems to now be semi rare if you're after a specific size.
