What a great scan.

Will add an interesting spin to the 'are disks retro' debate

I remember that article.

Stunning bike.

Shimano(?) disc brakes are pictured in Watson and Gray's Penguin Book of the Bicycle, 1978. From memory, they thought their advantages were outweighed by the need to reinforce the frame to take the strain. Like U-Brakes under the chainstays....

Twas a CATS... rear wishbone etc... just a later one without the disk tab. Probably built with Deddacciai..
