Isn't the bottom of the seat tube ovalised on P-Series frames?

Does your frame have the braze-on mount on the seat tube for the e-type front derailleur? If it does, a standard clamp-on front mech won't work.

There is no difference in the bb shell between a frame that requires an e-type and one that doesn't. Both will be 68mm. The difference is that the e-type front derailleur must be mounted between the flange of the fixed cup side and the bb shell. The thickness of the e-type mounting plate is...

Does it have that same type of cup on the other side? In other words a cup without a flange like a typical fixed cup? If there is no flange on the fixed cup, it could be a Phil Wood bottom bracket.

He designed the frame. But being another tall guy, he might not think about stand over height as much as the average person.

It looks like a pretty large frame - and the top tube has to be above the split junction in the seat tube so the frame can be taken apart. I've got a couple of friends who ride Break-aways exclusively and notice no difference in "stiffness" or ride quality over traditional frames and they...

Does not the saying "possession is 9/10's of the law" hold up these days :D Rumpfy should be able to post more photos of a certain newly completed green Potts now.

If the flared end of the liner is worn down and slips into the frame, you can renew the flared end by heating up a nail and using that to re-flare the end of the liner so it won't slip back into the frame.

Please also keep in mind that Ritchey also sold the tubing to frame makers so there may be different "LOGIC" forks out there - Like the Bridgestone MB-0 fork which used Logic blades but had a socket type dropout. More info on Logic forks...

Thanks, Neil. Next time you are out, we'll go for a ride and you can ride it. Consider it your personal bike for hire in Marin. I'll even set up the levers for you proper :D But yeah, a jelly bean Salsa is a noble steed. Wait until I show my next project.

Neil, Thanks for stopping in my shop. I had a good time chatting bikes with you. Just a shame you didn't get to stay for beer:30.
