Subject: [CR]rear dropouts

For a relatively short wheelbase KOF frame I will have built this year, I am looking at rear dropout choices.

My head says vertical (because of practicality) so I wonder what opinions/options are out there re: marques.

I'd be keen for elegant and simple verticals but am having trouble identifying who may offer these together with nice matching fork ends..

I have Campy 1010B dropouts on another short wb frame, but these are still a hassle with wheel changes and I despise those adjuster screws.

Eventual use as a fixed/single gear bike on the KOF frame isn't going to happen, so the usual arguments against vertical dropouts need not apply. Components wil be full classic 70s.

Thanks,

Emanuel Lowi Montreal, Quebec
