Not really a find today, just something strange I saw in a thrift store. They had several late '70s-early '80s gas piped road bikes (which is the best they ever have) so I wasn't looking too carefully. But looking at the rear wheel on one, I noticed a strange disc on the left side of the rear hub. It was a disc brake! Not some new brake system added to an old clunker, but some sort of weird vintage disc brake. I couldn't make out the brand of bike as I wasn't wearing my glasses, but it was definitely a low quality bike-boom piece. Oh, and they wanted $48 for it! I thought about taking a picture but my camera phone is basically useless for that. Go figure. Anyone remember anything like that from years ago? This bike looked to be at least 20 years old, probably older.
