Well, hobbling around the shop is painful enough that I've decided to spend the afternoon doing computer work (sitting down hurts less). So, first up, some photos for Todd. This is a fairly conventional 29" geared frame/fork combo with s-bend, plenty of tire clearance and shortish stays, and a direct mount front derailleur setup. Nothing earth-shattering, but it should be a solid and fun ride, and that's the goal.
In other news, the KVA stainless tubes came in today. Have just unwrapped and ogled a bit, I'll do a post about them next week at some point.

Very nice. Looks like my size?
No need for a brace between the stays? Does the dropout style negate the need for one?
Manic -
Yes, in this case the disc tab is an integral part of the dropout, rather than being welded separately to the seatstay. So the dropout *itself* acts as a brace to allow the seat/chain stays to share the load.
And yes, these dropouts are nice for me because they save a bunch of steps (ie, miter/weld disc tab, miter/weld brace) and function/weigh the same as a breezer.
