Yes ... my 1987 (but KOF) Motta has them too, along with his Trans Torx stays. Here's the Wool Jersey album of the bike, albeit, it is equipped wit h modern Campagnolo components. Sorry, but it's the only way I can ride vinta ge steel, and yet still keep up with the big boys. In fact, I just now returne d from a (hair under) 80 mile ride on this exact bike ... second longest I've ever done! Someone please call the sag wagon to get me from the computer to the sofa :()~
The plug style dropouts with the GM initials formed in can be seen via thumb s on the last page, and can be enlarged by clicking again on each pic:

... do exist - look at Motta bikes. Nothing ugly about them, either - at least in the eye of this beholder.
