The rear brake is a u-brake for sure. Many of the C'dales on the link in Nicks post have U-brakes, but none of the 24/26 bikes have came with the Deore IIs that I have. Maybe it originally had rollercams or Dia Comps Us though. OTOH, some of the other C'dales from the era did have the Shimanos, so maybe these are original equipment.

Nick, I wish you hadn't posted that picture. Now I'm gonna have to try to get this bike set up in time of the ice bike race this Saturday, I can't wait to show it off.

Anyhow, I guess I'll just set it up and ride it. Unless I find out it's worth hundreds of dollars, I'll probably keep it around just for the oddity of it. Thanks for the info guys.
