Yup; two different brochures. That's probably about right on the dating. I notice the drilling in the side of the lug on the 2000 model as well. What's odd is that while the spec. calls for Campagnolo brakes on the 2500, the picture shows what I guess are Universal 68. The 2000 model appears to use Universal 61. Cheers,
