Maybe it is simply related to price and/or quality after all.
The Universal calipers I had were like the ones on the Bicycle
Specialties web site and I got them in the '60s. But I just
took a close look the photo hanging on my office wall - it's
Coppi in the '46 Tour de France. The cables do connect to the
left side of the brake as you face them. (Of course I'm making
the assumption that Coppi's bike had Universal brakes.)
So what does it all mean?
