I have run sram 11 on noodle bikes of my own fabrication with no issue. L Some forged drops have festures molded on the dropout that make the dropout wider. Some are thin. The thin ones need the washers.
I also am light and do not put out any sort of power worth noting.
oh yeah, and a good shimano internal cam QR to stop your wheel pulling
ohhh i love that
no such thing as a bad somec

$100 is fair. That bottom bracket may be stuck in there. Might just not have a bb tool.
This thing is cool looking:
Pretty much anything that doesnât have fender eyelets is also gonna have clearance for 25c tires, max.
That said, nice 25C tires + nice steel rides pretty damn great, as long as where you ride doesntâ invite pinch flats.
Pictured above is my Somec built in go-fast-roadie-geo with no eyelets to be found anywhere and it fits GB Cerfâs on TB-14âs which sure is a 28mm combo. Could fit same wheel/tyre combo on my old Gazelle Champion Mondial AB-frame:
A ebay search for âGazelle Champion Mondialâ racks up hella nice frames from the 80/90s built from Reynolds 531(C) or nicer tubing for more $$$. Gazelle bonus: Always every threading BSA! A search for âReynolds 531â, âColumbus SLâ would do the same. Nice older steel frames could be had so fuggin cheap right now.
I mean look at all these in 56ish:
AA Special.
AA Super (freaking AMAZING pro level biek).
Have your pick man!
Can someone find me a 50-51cm frameset for under $200?
Road or what
Mig, only morons measure mtn bikes in centimeters.
We donât tolerate morons here.
Ergo: no one is discussing a 50-51 cm mtn bike here.
Oh Iâm sorry I thought maybe a track bike or a cross bike but what do I know
Oh I forgot those existed.
lol. for once, mig really didnt deserve that one, snarkyâŚ
On that note if someone finds a dope 54-56 track frame for $200 or lessâŚ
Iâve decided Iâm only going to ride vintage steel and bikes built by tarckers.
Wait, does 1994 count as vintage?
Were you a minor or not born in 1994? Then itâs vintage.
