WANTED - Very Wanted... Such need... Much Dropout. Wow.

Hey.

I'm in need of a replacement dropout plate for a Dolan Track champion or TC1... or a Rixon... they're all the same shape.

If you've got a spare in your shed, it's worth £20 to me.

If you've the skills to make a copy from an original, let me know.... I've got a frame I can't use 'cause I don't have the plate.

It's an odd shape... image attached.

Also a lot of you know I paint bikes... I would be happy to give you work instead of money if that's something you're keen on.
Cheers.

Ian

Sounds obvious, but tried calling Dolan?
They have most the others

I made some once, I don't think I have the old ones that I removed. At the time I had access to a milling machine and they were pretty easy to make.

These look similar:

Do they look like this?

Doesn't look like the Dolan dropouts I made

I was just using the OP pic as reference.

Ive got a set of these on my frame, and im happy to make a CAD model of them for you. You can then get that laser cut / CNC-d somewhere. No idea what that’ll cost tho.

Drop me a PM if you need the model / drawings.

Edit: thread title just clicked, loled

Close... looks like your may have additional holes that perhaps aren't needed for this project.

If you're willing to part with them, I'm happy to buy them from you?

Very excellent offer.

That is an option I've considered but before I do, I'd like to go the route of asking if there's one in a parts bin somewhere!

You may hear from me if I have no joy.

Google search says these are on Ebay.
I'm gonna buy them and get them on a grinder if they're not quite right.

Thanks!

That pic is not mine, but they are Look 464 plates and I recognised the outline from mine. Let us know how you get on, I have a spare pair but that's the only frame I have kept for that long and will most probably never sell.
