Two can play this game. The screw-on clamps and white housing just
look right on my red Capo. My much more collectible Capo Sieger has unique built-in under-tube cable housing clamps, which I do not particularly care for.
When I worked at a Peugeot/Nishiki dealership in the early 1970s, I found it interesting that the higher-end
PR-10 and PX-10 used screw-on clamps, whereas the lowly AO-8 and UO-8 featured cable stops offset from the bottom of the top tube.
