Subject: [CR]Ebay Specialized Aero Prototype W-cut

W-Cut was one of Shimanos attempts to make shifting the front rings easier by shortening single teeth in the part where the chain would chang from the big to the small ring. So the teeth there looked like a W. I remember it mostly on the AX rings but also on Dura-Ace and 600 Cranks. If i remember right it came together with the Uniglide-chains and according rear cogs featuring sharp-tooth like formed teeth and before that slightly twisted teeth.

Bike looks like a Tsunoda I have seen sometime but not like a Specialized. Unique and nice though.
