In similar vein, I also think I have finished the all city dropout for the foreseeable.
I might switch the crankset from silver deanodized rival to black garbaruk to black rival to silver garbaruk but thats it.
Fork is a trials fork, arcade something. Happy I found a trick style fork with disc mount with mounts for mudguards and rack relatively OTP with only a small extra hole and some bolts and nuts.

Nah you can't! Tried that, bulle (copper) said no.
Had to make an adapter to fit a rear brake on a frame long sold and show it at the police station for inspection within two weeks otherwise they'ld scrap my bike.
Too much faff.
Also, liability. Germans love that shit so don't want to risk "but he didn't have a rear brake" when t boned by a car and then being the one "at fault". -
My octane one Kode has double disc, mainly token again on the rear. It's 135mm on though.

Thanks! And yeah, really chuffed.
No plans re rear disc. It's fixed 120mm, and the rear brake is a token rear brake anyway to comply with German regulations, as are the spoke reflectors.
Had a citation once already and don't wanna deal with that faff again.
Have been playing with the thought of mounting the brake inside the rear triangle for straight cable routing (I am a continental as per before) and aesthetics. Might do that still

I solved my conundrum with a trick style fork with disc mount for my dropout:
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/378907/#comment16874879It rides great. haven't noticed increased toe overlap yet.
Annoyingly drilled the forks a couple of mms too high so the mount has to be bent and for that I need a vice.
Saddle has been overcorrected for the increased a-c, that will be corrected soon. -

Aren't all campagnolo brifters up to 10sp able to do a triple? I remember something with extra clicks and whatnot.

It's actually not that far, only 10km straight.
I rarely venture north of the Spree mind.It's going to be a social ride.
Preferably fixed or singlespeed because l FG SS but don't care.
Bonus sterni for whomever who rocks up in LFGSS CC lycra.Open for detours, additional pickup points, I am just posting to get the ball rolling.
Hopefully there will be semblance of springtime for outside beers!

^ This indeed..
The inspired outlet shop on eBay has some shopsoiled for reasonable prices, also a cheaper model which is guess is the same but without the dropout gizmo-system so only for 9/10mm axle.
Would nab another pair were it not for Brexit and duties and shipping prices through the roof.
They are 405mm a-c, so good for 28" despite being designed for 24/26" trials bikes
