Right then.........
It's been a while since this was first posted up but, Paul, I have finally identified your dropouts and............
They are blue max ones ! :shocked:
They are the dropouts found on the late 82 - 83 iron cross gusset blue max frames.
What they are doing on a cali frame dated April 83 fook knows ! I can only now assume that it was a welder's error BITD as he grabbed the wrong dropouts during a very early production run of the calis.
And therefore a freak frame ! Very unique :LolLolLolLol:
But they're deffo 82/83 gusset blue max frame dropouts - take a look........
Same shallow step down in the top plate and downward angle of the axle slot ;)
PS...........
How's the resto coming along ?
Are you keeping it as a survivor frame ? What did you decide in the end mate ?
:daumenhoch:

Great work Holmes :daumenhoch:
Are you saying it's effectively an Iron Cross gusset Blue Max without the gusset or am I reading it wrong? ???
Whatever it is :shocked:

Nice unusual frame mate :4_17_5:
Did you heed 'jongoose's and other radsters advice and keep the chrome ???
John , how many late nights have you had trying to work this one out :LolLolLolLol: Knew you would get there in the end ;)

Well....
The way the rear stays meet the top of the seat tube is closer to a how gusset bluemax than that of a cali of the same era as well so I guess effectively it's like the rear triangle is from an 83 gusset blue max and the front triangle is from a cali !
Prototype frame ?
Welder's mistake ?
Either way that's what it's made up of ;)
