The cable routing on a Rohloff is unique and so you end up zip-tying the cables when using a normal frame. This frame also has dropouts that allow me to use the Rohloff without a chain tensioner or the reaction arm.

That''s what I want in the drivetrain of my next bike. Especially after this winter with all the sand on the roads I would love to be able to enclose the chainline or at least have a much simpler time of cleaning the drivetrain. But what does it mean that the frame is built for the Rohloff? I didn''t think there was anything special about a frame that would fit one of those hubs. Oh man — a Rohloff.
