Hello Don,

Yes, there were fine Italian bikes made without integrared hangars. I own two examples, the first being a Cinelli SC and the second being a Cinelli Mod B. Both are from the 50s and both have forged Simplex dropouts. Hope this helps.

Put another way, were there any fine Italian bikes being made during the 40s to the 60s without integral derailleur hangers?
