Trial-fitted some parts to check what’s compatible. Took a bit of a risk on this because there was a chance a few things wouldn’t fit. So far so good and the only things that will need modification are the shifter bosses. That should be fairly straightforward.
27.2mm seatpost. Plenty of clearance for the guards and they’ll just need a small tweak to make them fit.
Couple of things need some attention. Drive side rear dropout was a bit closed up and needed a little tweak back open. One of the canti bosses is loose and spins. I’m hoping I can fix that by re-peening the joint, but worst case I can use some structural epoxy or permanent stud lock in the joint. Left-hand shifter boss is a bit wobbly on its mount. Again, a re-peen ought to sort that.
