Did Cyclo-Benelux make frame fittings?

Yes, the dropout is Cyclo Benelux. I have other frames with stamped steel dropouts and fork ends from Cyclo, usually with long tangs pointing downwards to facilitate wheel removal/replacement. Other than shift-lever bosses I can't think of any other Cyclo frame fittings, but I wouldn't be surprised if they punched out other small parts like pump pegs and such like.

Aside from their Derailleurs, tools and freewheels, Cyclo were widget makers extrodinare; amongst other things I have the ubiquitous Cyclo cable clamps, a pair of Cyclo race wheel holders (these bolted to the front axle and were used by impoverished English clubbies to carry their good wheels to and from a race meeting) and a duralumin Cyclo track sprocket (scary). I'm sure English members can add much more to this list.
