    Retro fit Disc frame mount?

    I'm not sure what Bob Jacksons charge , but Chris charged me £35 all in (disc mount from Hope / welding / heat treating) ,this was in '02 so the price has probably gone up a bit now but it's only going to cost you a phone call to find out !

    can you fit a 9 speed cassette to an old bike?

    7 speed spacing is 130mm between dropouts , 8/9 speed is 135mm . It's possible to squish bits in sometimes but can stress the frame a bit , frame could possibly be re-set by a framebuilder.
