Cyrus -- If you mean it doesn't have track forks, that's correct. I believe orbThorn is correct. It has what I call horizontal dropouts anyway... about 1" of horizontal adjustment to tighten the chain rearward, but they open toward the front. You can definitely keep the dropouts if they have horizontal adjustment. I suspect my frame is early '80s. By the way, is that bike you are looking at an old "free spirit"? Can't tell from the small pic, but I recall they looked like that for a few years.

Sammyboy -- I suppose it did kind of drop out of the sky on me. I was on an 18-mile training run north of Boulder. At about mile 16 I passed a house that had a pile of junk in their front yard with a big sign that said "free". Bike was in the pile of junk. I've actually been looking for a frame for quite a few months, so it was kind of strange to find one when I really wasn't looking. What's that old adage; something about not finding it until you stop looking? The picture I posted doesn't show how bad the paint is, but I guess I don't mind it being a beater.
