"Functionally, I think spreading old frames with tubing like 531 is not much of a problem."
i'm not down on this or any similar posts on this issue aujourd hui.
trying to create situations that validate yanking around rear triangles
on a list like this seem counterproductive.
how different is coldsetting a classic frame for a 10 speed
cassette than adding braze-ons for a front der or cutting
off lever bosses on a cinelli and adding h.t. ports for sti levers.
this is the freaking cr list. i thought many folks wanted to "protect"
those old war horses from the likes of modern intruders/intrusions?
if having 10 cogs is so important, why not get a modern frame.
quite often "patina" and "provenance" are thread subjects in and
of themselves. if cr listees start okay-ing rearranging frames for
use with 2004 spec-ed parts, what is the point?
