that looks like a stache, and thats one of the benefits of the adjustable dropouts . . . . (and they take almost no time to adjust)

Love the Mezcal tires on my El Mar SS. I actually went from the 2.35" to 2.1" and they roll great, 2.25" should be right there.

Mezcal, I just downsized the thread...
What frame is that? My buddy is looking for SS frame options with adjustable drops so no tensioner. I'm not up on this stuff but so far all i got is Chameleon. Oh did i also mention he's only looking for cheap 29er options with this? 🦄

Another option from Kona is the Honzo or Unit.
Honzo
Perhaps it’s a purist’s dream, or maybe it’s the fact that they’re just so darn fun, but the Honzos have some serious staying power. They are the basis of many a dream build, the yang to the yin of a bigger bike, and they are the heart and soul of Kona. We offer a variety of Honzos from the...

I'm gonna tell ya, when they launched it and I did the training, rolled my eyes the whole time. Seriously thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. 1st pedal stroke, smile ear to ear. After 300ish miles on my demo, I purchased one to actually own and gave the free demo back. It's so good in a way you'd never expect.
