Was the green bike pictured converted to horizontal dropouts during the rear triangle repair you mentioned?
Here in Argentina single speed and fixie gear also became fashionable. I celebrate that people change the car for the bicycle, although not everyone understands about the quality, the history, and the care of a handcrafted bicycle frame that was made 30 or more years ago. Regarding the green bike you mention it was a track frame but with the rear dropouts stripped (or damage) and they were replaced by a new campagnolo. and the seat stay tubes were also replaced.
I hope you understand what I want to describe since I do not know if the translator is faithful to the idea I want to convey. Thank you
