Adjustable drop-outs '30ies.
ER probably referring to Etablissements Ravat. A racebike from the stable Ravat/Wonder.
Also Automoto seems to have experimented with adjustable drop-outs in that period.
In the '80ies Gios had its own version.
And also nowadays there are many forms of adjustable drop-outs in various 
disciplines of cycling.

Submitted by dciadmin... on

 Vintage Merckx De Rosa Fiat Tour de France 1977.
The current owner, who bought the bike directly from Eddy Merckx in the late '70ies, recieved confirmation from Mr Eddy Merckx about the 
authenticity of the frame. Contact with Mr De Rosa learned that this bike
can be dated in 1977. All sizes and dimensions were measured by Mr. Ludwig Wynants who certified another Merckx bike in de Koers! museum.They proved to match perfectly with the certified bicycles of Eddy Merckx.
