The front and rear dropout spacing are both 120mm. I plan to build another 26" fixed rear wheel to have the option of having 4 different cog set ups. The rear brakes are on the chainstays behind the crankset which was inspired by 90's era MTBs. this made for very tight tolerances and while the stays were designed to hold 2.2 inch wide tires, once inflated to 60 psi's, I wasn't able to get the wheel to spin freely past the brakes so I had to resort to a size smaller at 1.9". The tabs on the seat tube and the head tube floating between the double toptubes are to hold a section of rusted radiator cover sheet metal, when I find some.
