The brake cable housing is routed like most American bikes (left brake lever pulls the front brake and the right lever pulls the rear brake). Possibly it's the water bottle cage is not held on with clamps.

I was at a meeting of the No Click Cycling Club here in Toronto this evening. And as I was leaving I picked up a postcard promoting some bike history photo show.

As I looked at it, NCCC co-organizer and meeting host and local classic bike guru Mike Barry asked me: "What's wrong with that picture?"
and for the life of me I don't know. but I told him not to tell me until the next club meeting (November 28th I believe, in case anyone local is interested in visiting mike's mini-museum and talking pre-83 bike lore.)
I've got a couple of ideas now but I'll throw it out here for you weenies.
So, who knows what's wrong with the picture? (Mike said it was pretty basic and pretty obvious.) I'll take all your replies to Mike and report on who got it right.
