A Redcay would have less of a fillet of braze at the bottom of the "shot in" or fastback stays because a) this mattered to him and b) he silver brazed. My first Redcay, the thirteenth built (yes, it was stolen) had vertical dropouts. The were cut down Campagnolo dropouts. Also Redcay did not use chrome. The dropouts, if plated are nickel plated.
