If only they used tapered chainstays...
When I asked ages ago, they will, but it will cost extra.
They come with the new dropouts (~25€), DS is crimped for 42mm chainline:

We are a lot of guys in Denmark, who have drilled the Alpina fork including me.
You just need the two things on the picture. The drill and the thing (don´t know the english term) on the drilling platform, that holds the fork while drilling.
EDIT:
Drill vice (thank you drøn)

Big fan of this (stem is debateable, but definitely the rest).
Do you have more pics of headtube/headset/fork area?
Which fork is that?
I've sold the bike and and have no close up pics of the fork/headtube. The fork was custom made by Orlowski (35mm rake, 360mm crown-to-center).

Did you make the design of the frame yourself in bikecad? Or did you just pick something from Mielecs catalogue?

Has anyone had any trouble getting a seat clamp to fit their frame? Robert told me that the seat clamp size was 34.9 and seat post 31.6 but I've got a 34.9 Thomson seat clamp and I can't get it to fit?!

Yes I had that - I could just about squeeze the clamp on if it was open but it left the screw too short. I thought it might be the thickness of the paint but don't know really.

I just wedged it open with a fat Allen key and slipped it on. Easy peasy

Yeah I've been trying to wedge mine open too but haven't got it open wide enough yet, so far all I've managed to do is chip paint off around the top of the seat tube.
I'll try the allen key technique tonight!

Does anyone know the difference between bikepol.pl, bikemielec.pl and bikemielec.com?
The reason I ask is I am going to get a frame from them and have been speaking to the bikemielec.pl people and they gave me one set of bank details. If you then look on bikemielec.com there is a different set of bank details. I just want to make sure I am not transferring my money to some random.
Cheers
