So let me get this straight. Someone took a mid 1960s bike and retro fitted a set of early to mid 1950s dropouts in it (ten year older dropouts)? That is a huge strech... possible, but pretty a big stretch, in my opinion.

I agree with Kurt, the dropouts look like they were changed out. Looks sim ilar to my 1968 SC in construction but lacks the green chromovelato paint. S orry Dale. Now why did I sell that bike????? Who has it is it Nels? I know i t went to Seattle. Brian Blum in Berkeley
