A pile of dropouts w/ stays hacked off doesn't look good. Is it possible these were from a frame that was otherwise totaled???? If the seller stated that, or went so far as to show a shot of the wrecked frame, we'd all feel a bit better about seeing a frame dismembered. I believe the seller might be??? related to a beautiful web site that sings the praises of vintage bikes, and if so I'm sure there is a reason these ended up this way. The 1010s are early w/ that raised portion, and that tiny hole drilled above the hanger ,but they're not that rare. I hope theres a decent story behind all of this don't you?
