I agree about adjustments, but I think it's worse than that. I'm pretty sure it locks you into a particular chainstay length, which only varies depending on where the stays attach to the bb. I don't see how to adjust the brake bosses much at all. I guess there is some room to file the braze on. If I don't like the clearance it gives me, back to plan A. Actually, plan b was to cut off the brake boss attachment and use the paragon low mount dropouts I have, which would give me more clearance, I think.

I got the stays and dropouts. The stays look good, although big from the side. Good thing I'm using 2OS tubes, they might look funny with smaller tubes. Pictures later.
