The cable is wrapped fully around the fixing bolt and clipped short (a safety measure I used to do while working on other people's bikes, but haven't done in a long time). Also, the adjuster barrel is threaded fully in and the release lever is in the "open" position, even though the arms seem to be adjusted pretty tightly. Hmmmm...wonder if that was original race set-up. I can't even see the cable end on that "meticulously" drilled rear derailleur. And could that rear housing BE

Hah. I didn't notice that detail on the brakes. I bet it was set up that way for racing. You wouldn't lose brake power if the QR popped up for some reason, and the tires were skinny enough that you didn't need the QR when you removed the wheel. Cool.
Yeah, that would be a fun bike to have..just for all the nifty practical details.
