Paragon Machine Works do some quite nice sliding dropouts. A little expensive but pretty nice. As far as the ergos go I'd probably agree. To be honest, up until the last minute the bike was going to have bar-end shifters but I got a pretty good deal on the 9 speed STI. Interestingly I’ve been discussing this with someone else today.

Simply by reference to my WTBs, I think that yes need rotating forward and a more upright stem, the target being less sloping drop bottoms. Levers will if possible need to sit so that hoods elevated rather than horizontal. Thoughts only. I DO like the frame. Wouldn't mind one with track ends, but then discs become problematical... Shifters as opposed to just brakes? I'd have thought from way i use the brakes on wtb's that Campag ergos better than STI (and no I'm not a Campag good, Shimano evil, advocate!). Sorry, but me again!
