Title: Genuine VDC?
Post by: PHIPPSIO on May 25, 2012, 03:58 PM

Guys, been in the US working recently and I found some interesting items in a machine shop in Santa Ana.

First up, can anybody confirm this as a VDC Dropout?

Here's a few other bits. Some Botemma fork dropouts, free agent and a torker gusset plate amongst other things.

Dont think they are VDC d.outs as the curve between the seat and chainstays isnt so curved? VDC dropouts are the same as Nat Pro, which are different from the ones above.. :-\


If you find the rest of the bikes drop me a PM

No, i'd agree they're not right for VDC dropouts

The closest are bottom left in the last pic, but not the same.

I'll have a set of the Bottema fork dropouts if there's any spare  ;)

Yeah good idea,

One of those Bottmea dropuouts on a keychain would make a cool bottle opener  :coolsmiley:

Yeah I too agree, not a Voris dropout, cool nonetheless though.

Not the best pic of the rear but you can tell.
