I like the Ritcheys but the hood doesn't play nicely with some QRs. Also limits options of tube diameter and rear triangle angles.

I've recycled a few dropouts liberated from old frames, but don't think I've actually bought a new set. For almost all my frames I tend to find it easier and cheaper to get them CNC plasma cut to my own designs so the angles, disc tabs etc are exactly as I want. Sounds like the collector only has a thing for cast or forget dropouts so mine are unlikely to ever be "classic" ๐Ÿ™‚

Some old ones - not got any recent pictures. Bottom right is just hand cut with hacksaw and file.
