It was rumored back then that Curt was very superstitious and that he had used both. What isn't known (now lost to history) is what the mix (ratio) was of the Brev. and Patent chainring bolts.
Can anyone shed more light on this little known or talked about rumor?
1 Brev. to 4 Patent ? 2 Brev. to 3 Patent ? 3 Brev. to 2 Patent ? 4 Brev. to 1 Patent ?
