Looking through Jacques Augendre's book on Coppi, he seems to have preferred his rear QR on the right. This makes some sense from a mechanics perspective- tightening both quick releases becomes a right handed job. My friend Gaz, who's in the clothing business (http://www.n-zone.co.nz/), pointed out that his jersey was knitted on a tube. DB
