Bikes: 1978 Trek TX700; 1978/79 Trek 736; 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Sport; 1984 Schwinn Voyageur SP; 1985 Trek 620; 1985 Trek 720; 1986 Trek 400 Elance; 1987 Schwinn High Sierra; 1990 Miyata 1000LT

What's funny is that the 1984 Suntour AR (towards the bottom of the lineup) was all friction but had a barrel adjuster!

I would guess that the lack of a barrel adjuster would have accounted for in excess of 5 grams of weight savings.
