can someone tell me why, in the mid-1980s, cinelli and colnago went to these incredibly ugly crimped stay ends at the drop-outs? Looks like it was done with a vice-grips or something of the sort.

Ugh.

I look at this frame and think "how the mighty were fallen..." although, of course, someone will love it, I'm sure.
