In the 70s it was common to see a lot of drilling on a TT frame. Including the dropouts.....Some went as far as having the chainring, brakes [not just the levers] and the rear deraileur as well not forgetting chunks off the frame [under the BB] or lug cuts outs you could hide a a big cat!.....Condor made a frame whose chain stays were slotted and i think so was the fork.....That was the fashion and of course the ideal wuld have been 531SL.....My standard MKM did not cut the mustard at Shaftsbury CC in east London.
