Title: You scratch my back.... (Clints dropout museum) :D
Post by: oldschoolace on April 25, 2013, 01:08 PM: ... and you may get something nice :LolLolLolLol:

Had a little idea for a fun project to relieve the perpetual 7 day weeks i have been doing lately but i need your help guys. I need really clear images of rear dropouts from as many bikes as possible with particular emphasis on the classics like Haro's, Mongoose etc. In an ideal world the pics would not have the rear wheel, be as square on as possible to the dropouts and onlt be flat dropouts, ie no haro master stylee patforms.

If i can get this idea to work there wll be a freebie for anyone who supplies an image i end up using :daumenhoch:

A good starting point as a trial would be an early Haro master coaster tab side drop :)

If you could shove a ruler or tape measure in the pic for scale that would be even better :D

Cheers all, Clint

Post by: pickle on April 29, 2013, 08:20 AM: yes you'd better learn quickly, as a replica will take years rather than months to do properly.

The factory spec build i've nearly finished has taken about a year now and i'm still not finished.
