Hi
Can anyone tell me what hardtail frames are available with openable stays to fit a belt drive.
The only ones I've seen are the 'Spot bikes' but they are 29'rs and the 'Nicolai Argon' which is hard to pick up second hand ?
I remember some years ago there were frames with bolted stays ?

cheers..

not sure about this and too lazy to look myself, but what about bike with modular dropouts like P7 and explosif/unit?

Alex
These have removable drop-outs but the stays are still closed ?
The Nicolai Argon FR's drop-outs actually join the stays together which would be ideal, but I know there must be a cheapes solution out there ?
thanks anyway..

lol, I would need one of these guys on hand if every time I broke a belt, and I'm not letting him lose on my Ti frame... Think I'll just abandon the idea...

You know there must be a cheaper solution?

New technology and low production frames are expensive, sorry, I just don't see how you will get round that unless you buy am inbred and speak to your local welding school
