It uses huge dual-pivot calipers with cable-release QR arrangement to accommodate huge tires. Tange Infinity DB CrMo tubing and unicrown fork w/1" steerer.

I used it for lots of mtb trail riding and a half-dozen CX races over the years.
I've got one too. I just wish I had some gravel nearby to ride it on.


1992 Performance Parabola

The aforementioned brakes with 28 mm tires. I mounted fenders over 32mm tires with room to spare.
