Hey, I have a Jamie Bestwick (?) sorry if I misspelled, project and I was wondering what the dropout sizes are. I figured they are the usual 3/8, but I just wanted to make sure so I know what direction I will be going in with the project. Thanks guys.

come guys! let me know! I wanna get this project rolling for everyone to see!

pretty sure those were 14mm.

For real? Well that stinks.

you can get a few different styles of adapters to use 3/8" axles in a 14mm frame. i run coasterbrakes, so i have to do that with all my modern frames.

Yeah? That's something I'll have to think about. Why the 14mm dropouts anyway?

just for bigger, stronger axles for grinding, and such. that's how most freestyle frames have been made for the last 10-12 years, or so.

Oh okay. Well I wish there was a little more variety of wheels out there. I know there are a lot, but I'm refering to tuffs. The only tuffs I've seen with those dropouts are in black. Of, I know, you don't see anyone riding with mags these days away.

check with ED at coloredtuffs. he may have the adapters Skyway makes that come with the graphite tuffs. they are a bigger version of the step-down washers like some forks use to keep the wheel from falling out.

Sounds good. Are they expensive?

i wouldn't think so. mine came with tuffs, so i don't really know what they might cost.

also check flatlandfuel. they have some adapters under the "pegs" section that are the same thing i was talking about. $4 per pair.

I'm kind of torn on how to build this bike. In one way, I want to give it an oldschool feel, like a modern retro build. Then again, I know the proper wheels for it would be spokes, black spokes and rims, but.....that may make it look right, but also like everything else.
