Hello,
I am an Italian guy and I'm really interested in your Blue Pig frame. I have a question about the compatibility with the Rohloff Speedhub: mine is the one with the external gear mech (http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/index.html) and I'm using the Speedbone together with the OEM2 axle plate (http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/speedbone/index.html) because my bike has standard IS mount for rear brake caliper.
Since rear caliper mount onthe Blue pig is different I'm not sure wheter is it compatible with my Rohloff or should I buy other Rohloff parts in order to mount the Rohloff on the Blue Pig frame. What can you tell me aout this question?
I'm looking forward to your answer, thank you (and keep on making such great frames!
Federico

Hello it's me, Federico! probably the only solution would be using this Rohloff part: http://www1.hibike.com/main.php?sessionID=A0b1f032dd837610df0165a9132f94ea0&method=m_product&productID=2202a042834087e126c5df52881d1d5b which does the same job as the Speedbone but with the difference that it's fixed to the low non-drive side chainstay... yeah it's ugly to see but who cares as long as permits to use the Rohloff

then a good shot would be to use the cable routers on the upper non-drive side chainstay to route the Rohloff cables (there are 2 of them). That cable routers aren't gonna be used for anything else since I'd rather be using the ones on the lower chainstay with the rear brake hose...

This should work, although I don't like the fact to spend even more money on my Rohloff... well Blue Pig frame may well deserve that!!
