BrandonF_ Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 @ BrandonFI keep seeing hard tail Carbon GT's in the hub with this CNC machined aluminum parts where the rear wheel and brake caliper attach (rear dropouts?)Also saw a black single speed like this. I want to know more about it.But when I look at the GT bikes on their website, I can not find this model or frame!Is it an older frame? Don't they make it anymore? Yeah, you are correct, I think they switched over to normal dropouts with the 2013 frames, as mine is a 2011 model and a friend of mine has a 2012 with the same dropout. Apparently it was designed to accomodate single speed convertions and will also work on belt drive convertions.

The single speed option looks very nice.Perhaps one will cross my path one day. BrandonF_ 1

Dunno what size frame you ride, but Omnico had a XL like mine, raw carbon, in stock, maybe you can twist their arm for a good price IH8MUD 1
