All this chat about Cinellis got me curious about the dropouts and such on my two SC's.

My earlier bike, which I have figured for a '66 or '67 has the undrilled lugs, fender mounting boss on chain stay bridge, four digit serial number, no oil holes in bottom bracket shell, faint remains of what appears to be GF+ stamp on bb shell, no fender mounting loops on dropouts (although these were probably cut off at some time). The right rear drop out does have the boss and hole for the GS derailleur spring. What do y'all Cinelligentsia think?

My later bike I have figured for a '68 or '69. It has the drilled lugs, but with fender mounting bosses and loops, four digit serial number. But here is the part that makes me think it's an early drilled lug frame; the fork lug tangs are not drilled. Any comments from the Cinelli Cognoscenti?
