Who makes the best touring drops?
The title says, it. I need the best derailleur drops with double eyelets. Currently I am using custom ones, or Novas with single eyelets. Actually singles are enough for the way I rig. That said I would like to have some that look more conventional and are high end. I like the ones Dazza has. I need a supplier who sells to amateurs. The Nova eyelets look more fender grade than expedition grade. I need my threads to be machinery grade fits. I am collecting parts for a desktop, over the top beefy, cnc mill. I hope it will be able to get me to a place were I will be able to produce my own.
I'm on a nostalgia kick these days. I'm building a homage to my first Peugeot touring bike in the 70s.

It sure looks like his dropouts are available from Peter at Ceeway though they may not have the name cast in them.
