Coarse tune with clamp position fine tune with length of straddle cable, eh?

If you like I gots a roller cam brake I'd be willing to let go for the right price.

The real irony is that [warning: road-riding reference] they have won the prestigious Alpe d'Huez stage more than any other nation.

That's just awesome and terrible all at the same time. Kinda like a Moots or Ibis URT bike. Right builder, terrible design.

Yup! I visited the Rocky Factory during that era and checked out the powder paint booth. It was like visiting a holy shrine.

Seeing that beautiful frame laying unprotected on that rough cement causes me physical discomfort.

I have the same on my Element Team. Wish I could get a new frame with that paint scheme.
