cut the dropouts. they look ugly and you dont need like 2 inches to pull your chain back lol, if it ever got that loose then take some links out.

glenn, if you cut the drop outs off, you arn't going to need to resprayh it, its only gunna be the very end that will be silver, its not worth buying spray for it, Smile

Instead of cutting the dropouts to lose weight, how about new tires? KHE Mac2's??
