Guys.

A recent acquisition - a Roberts built Geoffrey Butler (dated 197:cool: race frameset that has a Portacatena dropout.

Question; does a frame designed for a Portacatena normally* have a cutaway chainstay on the dropout end ? I don't have the Portacatena but the frame looks like it will either accommodate it or a 6 speed freewheel not both.

Thanks.

Jon.

*suspect the answer is yes.
 
BITD we ignored the portacatena completely, great at the Harrogate show on a Viner / SABA but that was about it :). They pitched up on all sorts of frames as I guess that's what frame builders had in stock and were simply described as Campag short dropouts....
