Who used them? I've never seen them before.

Yes - back in the 1970s atmo.

Very interesting - I don't think I've ever seen those, even attached to a bicycle.

It's drilled for the Portacatena but were they really casting plug drop outs then? Do you know who used them? I've never seen them on a bike.

No - I doubt anyone used them. C made a lot of stuff that never made it into anyone's manufacture atmo. There were long ones too earlier that decade.

FWIW, the set of f&r dropouts sold for $565. Wow.

Recently? Surely they wouldn't have sold for that back then. A top end bike back in the 70's
sold for $500 -$600.
