Thanks OFG and unter,
I think I saw those but money is tight.
I'm not a welder but it seema like putting new dropouts in will be a PITA, loss of chrome, and costly.
I think I can have someone weld for a six pack.


Feeler
[OTOH...I may sell the bike, a 67+cm (not a typo) '75 Paramount]


edit...so I'm assuming these are steel dropouts...but anything else I should know about the tyoe or quality of steel??
