some folks might blanch, but sl/sp tubes, nice lugs, cable guides and more modern ot parts can be a sweet combo. unfortunately, too, 130mm spacing is the standard now until something else comes along.

classic is cool too, but if you have a few on-topic, skinny-tubed frames, one with the hated ot ergo stuff could be fun also.
