I was saving this Paceline article from Bicycling magazine (Jul 1989) for another day, but it seems to fit well here with 7-11 and Hampsten.
Early race testing of Shimano Dual Control prototype?
If so, it seems Shimano changed the prototype mechanism from a "small button atop the (brake) lever" to the well-known inner lever for mass production.
Or did the reporter get this wrong?
