@jimmuller - I guess I'm not as much of a geek as I thought I was. I asked a more advanced geek & they knew immediately what you were referring to. 
Given your propensity for physics, I'm not surprised.
On the photo you posted is that little bolt from a Suntour bar-con? The one that frequently goes missing?

Thanks @non-fixie.
It's stamped 65 so I'm assuming 1965. I have the bars to go with it and I think I'll put it on my '67 Condor.

Not my pic but this will be the look:

Exactly. On earlier versions, the text orientation was towards the rider. Later, it was turned around, so it would show legibly on television.
Thanks @non-fixie.

But then, one can say that about a lot of stuff. Gone forever.
And back then, I could afford a pair or two.
I still have a pair of these P-R's. But they're no longer ridable, alas.

My favorite so far for many reasons - the color, composition, and no corporate logos. I was going to enter today, but VV raised the bar with this one.
