 oh man, that's cool Smile

is it going to be through axle rear end, or.... wondering how are you going to do that? Smile

 It's going to be 14mm through axle. Got myself a few Hadley 160x14mm rear hubs for the purpose. It's going to be sorted by bonding in titanium bushings in the frame for the axle.

 Well, it's not all that hard to do, it just takes time. Let me know if you want to give it a shot, and I'll give you a few pointers.

 nice to see it coming together! so if you're using a 160mm rear hub, whats the plan for the BB? it must be fairly wide...

 Planning on using a standard 73mm BB and making a custom setup that puts the chain rind 10mm further out.
That should bring me back to an ordinary chain line -2mm, which will be what I aim for, as the chain stay is pretty short (370mm), so it need to be a bit further inwards, in order to make the bigger cogs behave.
