Hi CycleryNorth81, strangely enough I've had a few Pinarello Asolo's over the years and 2 of them had similar cracks in the RH rear dropout as the Colnago in the clip. I cleaned the cracked area up and brazed the dropouts back together without the need to open up the crack even further. I've still got one of the frames and, 15 years on, it's given no further problems.
