If so...that's way sketchy, I say new frame.

I doubt they're track ends. :P

i'll post some pictures tomorrow. 
but yes. the track drops are coming coming out of the frame. 
but its only happening on one side.

how is a quill stem measured? is it from to bolt to the middle of the clamp?

Does this eighth inch scrambler frame look any good?

i had previous gen scrambler and i like it alot i sold it to get my current bike but i might buy the new version to build something ruggged

thanks. I think I'm going to buy this then if i don't get my current frame fixed.

What bike shops are Cannondale distributors?  Everywhere I look is all trek or specialized.  I'm looking for a CAAD9 series bike.

is there a difference in quality between the sugino zen messenger 

and the sugino messenger?

The difference is the bolt circle diameter. The Zen is 144mm and the Messenger is 130mm. The zen chainring is also NJS certified, so if you find yourself in Japan racing Keirin that may be important to you.

oh. ok i see now,
haha i dont think i'll find myself racing Keirin
thanks

So apparently I have to post this here considering it got locked on the post I put up... sooooooo.....

I bought this frame with some older wheels and an all around suicide job done on it (new to the whole thing, how was I to know.) After stripping the rear cog (which I was told by three different bike shops that they had never seen that before) and discovering that my seatpost was being held in the tubing with shims made of beer cans, i decided to play take apart mechanic. I have now stripped it down and did a rebuild, but have no idea what kind of frame I have. Luckily the serial number was still legible after I had it sand blasted if I can find a legit website that can tell me what it is. But until then, maybe someone can tell me just off of sight alone. I loaded up a pic of the bike and then the rear drop outs cuz I know that can help maybe identify what it used to be. I'm thinking either a Univega or Centurion from the 80's.

 Thanks a bundle.
