Trying to figure out where to put the mudguard eyelets. I realise many of you probably think I shouldn't do this but it's wet here and I'm old and uncool and don't care 😉
Nevertheless, it obviously looks crap and the dropouts are pretty distinctive on these frames so would be nice to screw them up as little as possible.
My choice would be halfway between your first and second positions, but use a round file to file halfway into the dropout so it's semi sunk in. Braze in a slight fillet on each side and it'll look like it was there from the factory.
