just for the %#(&^ ] of it i'll add: i've done a few repairs in my time and have been pleasantly surprised at the construction quality i've seen in the 20s/30s, etecetereterera frames built by the drysdales and pop brennans of the world. these were true track frames built for the original six-day era. many/most of these had plug-in dropouts. proper-issimo. e-RICHIE chester, ct

Yes, arty track ends, but disappointing that they are plug in type to simplify construction. Personally, I'd rather not see labor saving design on a $2400 frame...
