monkian:
So pleased that this frame finally found a good home. I can't wait to see what you do with it Peter ;)

Tapatalk is useful for adding photos direct from your phone, if that helps.

Avro:
Ok, got to grips with Photobucket so we are away.
As you can see the frame is extremely well made, super tight welds and lovely tube shapes.

A little skim of filler to the small dent to the steering head tube...



..and into primer.




One thing that puzzles me is the threaded hole in each rear dropout. It is the bottom small hole, M5 is the size. Any ideas what it is for?


That is as far as I have got. A start at least. I really like this frame.

MartyC:
The threaded holes could be for a whale tail chain tensioner, an after market addition.

monkian:
Marty is bang on the money there. The Hattori ProSight (made with Tange tubes and the same drop-outs) came fitted with a unique looking set of chain-tensioners that did the same job as Whale Tails:

monkian:
I guess it saved you having to drill holes in your drop-outs :/
