Got a dusty (really) old alu MTB frame from the inlaws for Christmas (engineers, the lot of em). Does anyone know a good frame guy who can tweak a drop out. It's an allie MTB with sliding dropouts, Custom built i think, but with a very slight tang on the front edge of the left drop out. Other than that, metal is in good condition, built it up with an early 90's XT rear mech for now with the existing STX headset (remember them?) and it still has a fresh feel for aluminium but wanna take advantage of the dropouts and fixie it.
PS, Old school Royce BB came fitted so I was thinking a middleburn crank? Silver, cos the frame is red. Go the full McRoy!! I'm sure I've got some old steel riser bars in the garage. be great to get it sorted with all the stuff we've forgotten about (like dB Ti spokes and the like).
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
