It reminds me of a Meile too. The dropout to stay treatment is exactly how Meile finished theirs. I went to their auction when they went bust and I got a lot of their framebuilding supplies. Among those materials are seat stay tops just like in the picture. In fact I could probably make a frame with what I got from them just like the one in the picture. I brought back some forks that looks just like the one in the picture too. Most of their forks had Miele embossed on the top of the fork crown but not all of them. I don't know about the serial # however.
