Not cantilever mounts, but "U" brakes. There was a short-lived fashion in the late 80s of mounting them under the chainstays:

Followed @Mumonkan and some dudes who were off to bikepack. I am still recovering from knee surgery so I couldn't go as far as I wanted. Still did 26 miles, many of which were on terrible terrain (especially for a cross bike).

I wish the guys who designed my olde Yokota had thought of shouldering. The put cable stops under the top tube right in there where they'd do the most harm to your shoulder. Living on the second floor and that being my errand bike, I found that out right away.

That MB-2 came with a Suntour rollercam in back, though.

Also great pic of the river with Michael.

@AristoNYC Sounds like your recovery is coming along well. Did you take the fantom? I think I spy it with the red bar tape.
Also great pic of the river with Michael.

Yep, I took the Fantom Cross and tried to keep up with the fatties. I had 40c on the cross and it held up quite well.

@websterrr I got a Canon 70d with 18-55mm kit lens and a 70-200 f/4L IS lens. Gonna be really good for cycling photography 
I'll eventually get a fast prime for it, but don't really need one this minute.

So I've been teasing a build lately, but I've changed my mind and decided to sell because I felt like this isn't worth putting so much money into.

After not having cable TV for 4 years I decided to try SLING TV. So far so good. Any other cable cutters try Sling?
