I bought it for the dropouts - seconda parte
My 8 regular readers may recall my first thread - https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...-dropouts.html
A mid-1930s Pagliati with Campagnolo's first gen dropouts (although I believe there is an earlier version, but those could be prototypes). Nothing nefarious, I'm gonna build that bike someday.
I have no interest in another bike except.... I regret not purchasing a 1952 Maino, then this popped into my feed, a 1951 Maino with first gen Gran Sport dropouts. 4mm screws and the derailleur stop at 4 o'clock instead of normal 7 o'clock. Campagnolo made these for a hot minute in 1951. Now I get to spend 20x on the proper rear derailleur than I did on the frame. Oh joy.

Agrati "AM" pattern lugs with the points removed from the feature cut
have not seen this arrangement previously
what year did Cesare Rizzato get the rights to the Maino marque?

I love it when this happens, you get to go down a long dark road and we get to go along for the ride.
Fortunately for me, when I had the money, I didn't have the sense, now I have neither so I'm safe for the time being.
Should have committed to something like this while I still could.
Fantastic project.

Lotta cool features on that bike.
Is that your bike workshop? Kinda feel like one might need a white lab coat to work in there

I like it, and it doesn't hurt, that it's a cool color. 👍
Are those fender eyelets threaded? Something tells me no, they were made for nuts & bolts. 🤔

4 o'clock stop on a Campy dropout? Learn something every day, did not know they were ever made.
I like the way the threaded hole is beefed up where the 4mm dropout screw goes in. They should have kept that feature.

I'm sure it wears the wrong color, but not to far from McLaren Orange, so should be fast.
just don't paint it Silver, there are too many silver bikes now.
looks Long, back during the era where generous wheelbase was a feature.

@iab - Fantastic looking frame set! cool lugs and the brake bridge looks like a bridge!
Would you mind adding a picture of the other side of the post collar? I would like to see what he bolt and nut look like that I need to match for the Frejus.

It can be done. I "ISO'd" a Heuret on my Raleigh Competition. I forget what I did and it was way too much work. Bike went in for paint, braze-ons, etc and the dropout got properly and permanently ISO'd.

I suspect that a large part of the attraction of this frame was exactly the challenge of finding the right parts and building the bike accordingly.
Sounds like a good excuse for another trip to Italy!

You have that about right. It's kind of a cross between a museum and a Porsche engine build room. Fortunately, without the roped off sections with the "Do Not Enter" signs.

Drywall, paint and a laminate floor. Combined with the janky old crap I have accumulated over the last 20 years in a subterranean display instead of being heaped in a pile/closet/drawers. Not much of a museum or German shop.
