If it is purely based on recognising the dropouts then yes.

That German ad is hilarious, with period correct overheated text.

I owe a huge thank you to @joglo for agreeing to part with this.
Here's the frame, plus stem and bars:
I have a few ideas for components, hopefully using some of the many I have that I haven't used.
First, though, is to find a fork. I think I have got rid of all the spare forks I had so I'm on the hunt for something suitable. Usually, I am a bit fan of rigid bikes, but given how rigid these frames are meant to be it might be an opportune time for a little bounce. What I would really like is a Paioli HPS fork:

However, given that's going to be difficult, I also have a couple of other considerations. These came with Concept branded Amp Research forks, I believe. I would certainly consider an Amp fork, but rather than the black-legged Concept one, I would prefer a champagne/bronze or grey F3 fork.
I will also keep an eye out for a suitable rigid fork, since there's a change that I don't get on with the front suspension and later change to rigid anyway.

Wanted - Paioli HPS fork
I don't usually do bouncy forks, but if someone has a Paoili HPS 027/028/029 maybe you could sway me to the dark side. Might consider an alternative cool fork, but I would prefer one of those.
