Right.
I was curious about how that Inflate-Rite Automatic Tire Gauge works.
I also wondered what was the rush about getting that Zebra ad to the publisher that they couldn't find time to tape the handlebars.
On the other hand, the low amount of stress shown on the titanium frame DT gives me a bit more confidence in a Litespeed Ghisallo frame I have that's feels great riding it, but has a few acne scar-like. shallow indentations of the central part of the DT.

When Harald Cap, a degreed mechanical engineer, resurrected his father's Capo bicycle business in Vienna, he promoted his computer-designed custom frames. It is cool to see the stress analysis in the magazine article.

.
I think I may be seeing something like Benotto silver bartape on the Zebra handlebars (was this another variant of the Zebrakenko brand?). But so shiny it looks like nothin's there.

Yeah, I see that now.
The white cable housing from the left lever is what made me think the bars were naked.
But now I notice lever mounting clamps aren't visible, so I'm thinking you're right
But that cable housing placement and routing is odd for either front brake or FD.

Reminds me of a vintage ad I seen from 1988 for the "Panasonic Order System". Where they use CAD to design you the perfectly sized bicycle no matter your size.

There's a bit of old 80's style humor going on in the ad about a very tall foreigner having difficulty adjusting to life in Japan.


Just shows how computers were revolutionizing the industry!
