Title: Wouldn't you sort the dropouts before chroming?
Post by: That Swan Guy on November 27, 2011, 06:25 PM: Cracking frame but just have a look at the rear dropouts!

What a shame they weren't fixed before chroming :(

Post by: ORANGEZIPPY on November 27, 2011, 08:03 PM: i believe he lives in both locations and has his collection split between the two,

i'm sure he probably bought it like that, the chromer should have turned the guy away, and said come back once repaired.

nice enough buy if you want a CW though.
