I had a custom frame built in 1980 (by Andy Gilmour in Tuscon, AZ) and we used Suntour drops because I wanted vertical but Campy's verticals were kinda cheesy.
Yes, vertical rear dropouts, but no markings on them. They seem quite stout. I actually hung components on the bike yesterday, pulling things out of what I have in the basement. The only odd thing is that a 27.2mm seatpost is a slightly too loose! The post that came with the bike had an alloy shim, and now I know why.
