I'm not at home with my bike at the minute, but hopefully you can see the difference, if you look at the picture below, the dropouts have an ugly shape to them and they look massive, I reshaped mine with a flap disc in a grinder to flatten them off a bit and reshape them.

Thanks guys, Found some pictures on my phone I forgot I had taken of the frame, so I have some better pictures of the dropouts, still bigger than I want them to be but I don't want to take away too much material.
