I wonder if that's why they used the "Glued & Screwed" method?

I've received several good ideas including:

Trying to obtain a replacement dropout piece from the Alan factory and re-gluing it onto the stays.

Having a local welder go at it.

Buying a replacable drop out and shape it after some fancy dremmel work on the frame - this is similar to what yellowjersey.org did on their web site ( http://www.yellowjersey.org/rlfix.html )

Buying another Eddy Merckx steel frame and hang the Alan on the wall.

Is it possible that the alloy in An Alan frame is one that does not weld easily or well?
