to whihc I would like to add that the original Campagnolo drop-outs in the 50's actually came with 4 mm adjuster screws. It would appear that the 4 mm drop-ou screws only lasted for a season or two at the most. I have a Bianchi frame that has them. As a matter of fact, the only frames that I have ever seen with the 4 mm drop-out screws are all Bianchis. Does anybody have the exact year for these drop-outs that also are labelled BrevĀ° Camp instead of Brev Camp or merely Campagnolo. -- Steven Maasland Moorestown, NJ
