Have you considered a Philcentric? https://www.philwood.com/products/bbpages/philcentric.php
OUTBOARD BOTTOM BRACKETS Philcentric The Philcentric is an Outboard Bottom Bracket that gives you eccentricity without using horizontal dropouts, an eccentric hub, or chain tensioners. *You may be required to use a half link. We manufacture Philcentric Outboard Bottom Bracket (OBB) Cups for integrated spindle and crank systems from US-produced stainless steel. Each Philcentric is machined in house to the same high quality standards we apply to all of our products. These cups are available in British threading, 1.370 x 24 tpi. When ordering replacement dust cover please note that the Philcentric uses our medium dust covers. All Philcentric OBB cups require the Phil Wood Philcentric installation tool <https://www.philwood.com/products/bbpages/bbtools.php>. *(Please Note: This tool is only available to shops)* On Friday, February 15, 2019 at 11:32:49 AM UTC-5, Coal Bee Rye Anne wrote: > > Additional follow up ? for (Deacon) Patrick: > > You may have thoroughly answered this in another thread already, and I do > recall you briefly discussing your conversation with Grant regarding a > custom vs. Boots, though the title of that specific thread is currently > escaping me, but just curious if your intention is to actually add a third, > permanent alternative to your bike stable?
