Wouldn't you sort the dropouts before chroming?

Cracking frame but just have a look at the rear dropouts!

What a shame they weren't fixed before chroming

It also seems to be in two places at the same time!  Australia and Hong Kong?

I'm not having a dig at him, it even states it was done by the previous owner. But just a shame on such a frame set!

might not have been the guy selling it - but however did it needs to have word with himself.   

its like spraying a car that's got a great big dent in the door!!

i believe he lives in both locations and has his collection split between the two,

i'm sure he probably bought it like that, the chromer should have turned the guy away, and said come back once repaired.

nice enough buy if you want a CW though.

Ten minutes with a vice,a file,a block of wood and a hammer would have made those loads better even without building back up with weld

Marky, how much does it cost to have the dropouts done btw
