I thought it time to do something with this...
I bought it last year for the cost of postage as it had a crack right through the drive side drop out. I needed it as a commuter in the short term so a buddy of mine welded it up and I rode it till after Christmas in this incarnation:

Lockdown 3 began and I stripped the bike to assess its condition. All the main tubes are in good condition, with a tiny dent in the seat tube, and the paint really isn't salvageable. But that dropout.....



I had the frame dipped at the powder coaters up the road to reveal the dropout was now cracking around the repair:

So time to have some new dropouts brazed in. So here it is yesterday, currently in etch primer to provide some sort of protection while it goes to a frame-building friends workshop for the work to be done! He's also gonna put a cable stop on the top tube for me, so no nasty adapters if I want to run V's.



Watch this space.
