Might be. I have a way of remembering things from decades ago as having happened only year or two back.

On the other hand, I've got extensive experience working with "bread and butter" bikes. Before dual pivot brakes, keeping the brakes centered was a constant PITA. Brake pad replacements were more frequently necessary because one side always wore out way before the other. Now it never even blips the radar. I'm sticking with dual pivots for my personal bikes.
