Does e-Richie's 30th Anniversary model have the cable guides on top of the shell? Evolution, devolution, or revolution? In any case, I like the look of it (of course, I even liked the look of Campagnolo's clamp-on cable guides for routing over un-brazed BB-shells, and still have a Huret clamp-on guide for Rear Der, only).

Well, we'd have to hear from e-richie to know why the guides are "back on top" so to speak on the 30'Th. I think I know why ("Period Correct - Period"!). But, the look is much cleaner with the routing on the bottom IMHO. Richard (cleaner is usually better), Rose Toledo, Ohio
