I don’t really know how to date them definitively, but by the late ‘80s, he was already doing the brake lever shifter thing, and I’d expect that Jacquie would have been the first to have all the goodies, so given those things and the brake cable routing, I’d guess it was an earlier iteration, but I also think she raced her frame, named Otto, for many years with a variety of permutations, the details of which I don’t know, so I really can’t venture an educated guess on the bike in the picture. The Bell V1 Pro helmet came out early ‘80s, too, so that’s another clue, and we know WTB was founded in ‘82.
