I have no doubt, from the pictures that it is a wonderful job on your first foray into the art and science of pipe fitting, as I jokingly like to call it. I am quite curious why you decided to use track dropouts on what you obviously intended to utilize as a classically equipped road bike? Regards and congratulations on your first born, DaveP
