I seem to remember horror stories about the alloy rods breaking and the caliper jamming on. (or was that the carbon fibre version)
Oh, and of course... very nice bike mate! |
that was the carbon fibre one, they recalled them and put alloy ones on cos if you rolled backwards and jumped on the back brake the rod bowed and broke.
i was under the impression all sp's had an under slung rear caliper, that looks like a strada set up.
also, the first 851 (tri-colour) had a silver frame with a silver hoop, the first red ones had a white frame and a white hoop, then the white frame with a yellow hoop. the 93 888 had a bronze frame and yellow hoop and the 94 888 had a bronze frame and bronze hoop.......think that's right.....
