Hi.
Wanted to ask about the forum first incase there's someone on here with the skills.
I have a nice tight peugeot frame which i really love and have been riding for about 7months now. The only problem is the rear drop-outs are vertical. I have resolved this with a Singleator but I really fancy getting rid of it and possibly going fixed back there (its SS atm).
I always thought it a bit extravagant to replace the drop-outs on such a lo-grade frame but i've come to really like it and unless i can find a decent replacement (seems vintage frames are going for bucks on the bay now), I'd like to try n get them cut out n replaced with horizontals.
Is anyone here up to the job? Fancy the work? Or could you recommend me anyone else who could get in on it?
Thanks much.
