Duane, if these interest you, I would trade a couple pairs for a little time on your mill. Nothing pressing, maybe this winter or next spring. I guess these won't get you any Fusion360 chops though. Not a lot of room for SS faces on these either, pretty slender silhouette.

The Zeus originals are a sentinetal fave for me because I made a track bike with them in about 1980 for my then-girlfriend, now wife. She won a couple medals at Districts on it. I think she married me to lock in a good deal on custom bike frames for life. Priorities!

If those don't float yer boat, let's still talk about swapping mill time for dropouts, I have lots of track dropouts, in maybe a half dozen styles. They ain't goin' nowhere.
