this was my lovely Record.
It built up real nice,felt great to ride, and I really ended up depending on it.
But its been almost a month now that I snapped the chainstay dropout, got a few leads for fixing it. But in honesty I do not think the punch-pressed thin dropouts of 80's raliegh records etc are up to the rigors of urban fixed wheel riding.

my new frame has the thicker campagnolo style dropouts and fat circular columbus stays. Im hoping its going to be a lot more sturdy.
