It would certainly be easier and cheaper but I will hold out. There's no rush.

I asked my local sprayer/frame builder to take out the damaged dropouts to use as a template and get new ones made as I had given up looking for a donor frame. However the frame builder tells me that there is nothing wrong with the old dropouts. Which is great news.
So I have just sent the frame to Argos for respraying, it won't be back until April though so I have plenty of time to gather the necessary parts.

Not a chance, I'm having to play the long game on 946171
Incidentally the front forks on that lugless frame don't look right to me, Gillott dropouts are usually more slender than these. They actually look Holdsworthy ish. Not that I'm suggesting the frame isn't a Gillott but it might have something to do with the repsray..
