Great thing...

Concerning the dropouts I was thinking aloud because my frame-dealer was not sure whether our dropouts could take the reaction forces of the Rohloff-Hub. What?(Couldn't believe it.) No problems so far (after 3000km, partly packed).

Excuse my English concerning the bottom bracket (I'm no native English speaker). I was wondering about the design (with the slotted bearing shell) of the eccentric bottom bracket. I haven't seen this technical solution in rather high price frames. But, on the other hand, this external clamping could save some weight compared to internal solutions and it was probably chosen because of that. Plus the Gates doesn't need re-tightening very often (if at all...).

Again, great bike. Hope your stoker loves it too. When we are riding I take every coffee-stop I'm asked for. Just to keep the mood up :-)
