Pretty quick turn around on a repair like that. Peter Mooney is among the best.
Now, important ! Brian Baylis, who had seen a few steel bikes, said the
#1 cause of frames failing at the dropout was mis-alignment and / or rear dropouts that are spread apart to accommodate w ider axles without re-alignment.
Since he has a newly repaired bike, he should adjust / cold set the DO width to match his rear wheel and then align the DO faces. Easy to do.
