Fellas I'm feeling the urge to 'pubish or perish', so I'm just putting the feelers out there at this early stage to see if there's any demand for some dropouts for us carbon guys.
Up until this point, I guess most people are building with Crumpton dropouts or using Columbus / Dedacciai kits, but I'd like to throw another option in the mix for people to keep things interesting.
At this stage the plan is to develop a 'plug-in' style dropout, with plugs or 'bullets' in titanium that get bonded into the chain and seat stays respectively, and an aluminum plate dropout bolts to those.
Reason for that ibeing, with the current way in which axle and derailleur standards switch and change, and that we're in the business of creating bikes with longevity (yeah?), this is a best design solution ATMO.
So who's interested?
