new chainstay disc mount dropouts on the way.

sweet!

combine these with an 80mm BB and it would be pretty cool..........let me know what you all think. i'm off to polish fillets. steve.

Saw that on your blog. Those are really neat looking.

Personally I'd love to see more track end versions with slotted disc mounts like my On One Inbred.

Killer. Just killer!

What is the largest size rotor these will accommodate?

And that cut-out in front of the dropout looks like it would make a good beer opener too! Any chance a slight mod could be made (groove or small "hook") to facilitate that process?

Paragon? Or did you design them?

those look great!
Would make a PERFECT clean tail end on an arched s-stay bike!

(i might have to start paying attention to your blog now...)

I feel like a mentally handicap person.

What are the two holes above the drop outs for? I can't figure it out...

rack mounts

or maybe you are looking at the derailleur hanger bolt holes?

Are these Ti or Stainless? I haven't seen these on the Paragon site - did they make them for you?

they are paragon, as far as i know i'll be the 2nd guy to have them in my hands {i saw them on frances cycle's site} they will be made in 4140 and 17/4 stainless, the hangers come in 6061 & 7005. i did not design them, mark @ paragon did, AFAIK. i'll let you know more when i get my black, sooty hands on them............steve.

Sweet. OnOne has a similar design: very clever solution when you want to use disc brakes with horizontal dropouts for SS.

They available in ti?

Am I dense? What's the advantage of these over traditional seat stay mounting?

not sure, i never look at the Ti stuff - give it a gander. they've been adding allot of cool stuff lately. i'm pushing for triple stops/all holes in stainless, myself. steve. http://www.paragonmachineworks.com/catalog.php

Looks better. (subjective, of course)

They are out of the way for mounting racks or fenders.

Cleaner look: They sit "in" the frame instead of "on top" of it. You can run your brake line down along the downtube.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

I hope I inspired them slightly, though I know others did 'em before I did.

They've made them symmetrical - my drive side ones are shorter (as they don't have to be longer). Saves some weight, but I guess makes rear stay fitting a touch more fiddly in some cases.
