Anyone able to tell me the difference between these 2 inbred frames to me and how it effects my riding.

Cost difference is about £60. Rang On One and got through a dummy who hmmm and arrr'ed.

I want it for light trails, single track, commuting and some cycle touring. will be using a rear mech not single speed. Will be running a 100mm fork and a rigid when touring.

    Horizontal or vertical dropouts?

  • On the swap out version you will have two sets of drop outs that you can use on the frame depending on if you want to run it geared or singlespeed.
    the the slot frame has horizontal dropouts with a gear hanger on, down side to this is if you remove your wheel you will have to line up the disc each time but on the plus side you will be able to adjust the wheel base on the bike

    In short you really should get the vertical dropout model but either of these will do

    Which ones the vertical ? The cheaper one ?
  • Sorry the vertical is another version and is like you would see on most bikes. the swap out will have vertical drop outs when with the geared plates on


    Get the cheap one!
