                          This dropout is very common on lesser quality Bianchis in the later 80s and 90s (does this make the whole discussion of this bike OFF TOPIC?)
               I have seen PUCH/Bianchis and remember Velosport actually had them repainted back to Bianchis as they were available on sale.(as closeouts?)
              Non Campagnolo dropouts are the first sign of a non Reparto bike. This treatment is about the same as crimped ends we see on so many of the cheaper bikes.
