Campagnolo Dropouts (2 of 5), originally uploaded by Steve Mitchener Xvelo Designs.

Some people buy parts to fit a specific frame. I’ve chosen to begin the hobby of bicycle frame building from a set of dropouts. As always inspired by the European bicycle manufacturers, these will end up on some kind of Alex Singer or Rene Herse inspired bike. Steel, comfortable, semi-race geometry and perty colors.
