I chopped a Brooks B17 yesterday...but it's on the fixed so doesn't count.

@Jef Wachowchow I scribbled the frame on AutoCAD and it was made by some Chinese people that are really good at making titanium things. All the components were sourced and polished by me (mainly nice old stuff, plus rohloff and Chris King). I also polished flames into the frame.

Here's the modifications I made to a Speedbone so I could use a Rohloff on a Chameleon and a Gary Fisher Rig.

The problem is that the outer face of the caliper mounting is not flat, the bolts are recessed.

I hacksawed, drilled and Dremelled the aluminium away, then made two steel spacers to locate in the recessed bolt holes.

Nothing special, but it may help someone else who's faced with the same problem.

More Rohloff modifications.
I wanted to fit a speedbone to a Kona Big Unit.
With the slider fully forward, the speedbone fouled the frame.
I hacksawed and filed the chain tug lug off the slider as I don't use the adjusting screws anyway, then Dremelled a bit of the speedbone away to clear the frame.
