Fork ends, not dropouts. It's a track bike!

But no, mine is currently out on loan to a friend who wanted to try some fixed riding before committing to a purchase or build, so all I have now, for photos, is what I already showed. But I can show them side by side:







Has the mudguard eyelet been drewed? You can kinda see where it might have been. The treatment of the stay ends is pretty much the same.

As for the paint, ugh. Not to my taste, and all wrong for an early 60's bike.
