Plug DOs for carbon frames.

[datas_brother]

I've been looking for dropouts to repair a Colnago carbon frame. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any so I'm now trying to get quotes for having them CNCed. Since they all want a drawing before giving me a quote I'm now looking for a CAD drawing. Does anyone happen to have them modeled? I need the two piece type with the M5 screw to set the seatstay angle. I'm not too worried about the diameter of the plugs since this is just to get a quote from. I'll modify it later when I have the frame here and know the actual dimensions.

Please help me since I'm not the most proficient with CAD.

Thanks!

Which frame are you working on? I don't have a drawing, but have used drops from various MFG's to fix other MFG's frames before. I suspect getting one set of drops CNC'd would be pretty spendy. Columbus drops are not generally too hard to come by (in fact I think I might have a set here) and I've adapted them to several different brands of frames. Of course, it doesn't always work, especially with some of the box section and etc type stays that are out there these days, etc.

Hi Dave,

That would be great. I haven't been able to find them here in Germany. The Frame is a Colnago Extreme Power and uses round plugged DOs. The Columbus DOs should work. Here's a picture:
