Slightly OT:
Does anyone know how to remove this FD band? I have the same mount on my '83, and I've never been able to remove it. I simply slid it down to the BB shell.
I need to know how to preform an exorcism.
I had one of these bands (SunTour as I recall) on the Cannondale I used to own. To take it off you just use a Phillips head screw driver to remove the screw that holds the band together. Beware though, once off they are a bear to get back on as the edge of the band acts as a clip and needs to catch the opposite side of the band. Getting that band back on held up my C'dale rebuild for half a day.
