Campagnolo Drop Frame
Were there any Japanese frames that came with Campy drops ? Don't know if it is Japanese, but I thought the lugs look like it.. Any ideas ???

I had a Miyata Team pass through my hands at one point. It was Miyata splined triple butted tubing and had campy dropouts...
And I just remember I still have some photos:

I have two road bikes built in Colombia, South America from 1991 and from 1995. The 91 bike had Columbus drop outs, front and back, and the 95, built with Columbus SL tubing, has Campy drop outs. I have no idea how long Campy drops were used, and if they're still used a lot.

I can't see anything that connects this to any given country: if the BB is 68mm wide and BSC threaded, that will eliminate Italy. Check the steerer for splines and that will rule out-or-in Columbus tubing. Other than that: yes, I own a 3Rensho that has Campy DOs and fork ends, and I'm sure there were others besides that and the Miyata, above...but I can't see anything in this frame that shouts out "Japan". Maybe some other details (fork crown, drop out-to-stays, brake bridge, top of BB shell) might help.
