Seeing as they chopped the derailleur this bike already will never see its former glory. I might feel liberated to change it up a little more. Some Sugino 75s might be nicer on it heh heh.
HEY EVERYBODY!
If you scroll down to post # 9 in this link that I posted you can see that the stamped dropouts didn't have an integral derailleur hanger. The bike pictured in that thread was probably all original???

Back in the early 70's Campagnolo dropouts cost bike manufacturers over $10.00 USD a set (which was a lot of $$$ back then). Since these bikes were made by Mondia as promotional models it wouldn't have made economic sense to spend the extra money because the prospective recipients (Swiss Air customers) probably wouldn't have had a clue about dropouts!
