There was a general paranoia of front brakes back then, that some of the manufacturers fed into with this minor trend. It was a little more common on some of the Stingray knock offs, but it did make it onto some road bikes.
Ah, thanks. I wonder if that paranoia had anything to do with the fact that US bikes are mandated to have their front brakes on the left?
