The front was not much bigger than an axle, and it had a nut and bolt arrangement to fix it to the fork, NOT a QR. After about a week, I put a QR in it. I tried a Campy, but the hole was too small, so I put in a Maillard. That bike does NOT look raceworthy. I remember the first Trek aluminum bikes were glued and pinned, and they were flexy flyers as well. I also remember EXXon Graftek but together a Carbon Fiber bike,that wasn't as good as the current ones, but definitly better than the auminum bikes of that era. I wonder what the racing bikes will look like a hundredyears from now? Plastic??? Probably not bamboo, because there won't be any then. LOL.
