What exact material are the '75 era Campy dropouts made of?
I'm thinking of having someone weld an existing damaged droput, rather than replace it.

See in the pics that the dropout "failed" on both sides of the set screw. I can still ride the thing, and have, as long as I clamp the axel really tight. (hey..watch this..)

My thinking is to have someone lay a weld, schmear a weld, whatever along the damaged lines..maybe even weld a washer to span the cracked seam on that area for more structure.

Any advice?






thanks
