Hey gang, when in doubt, double check the good old CR rules:

<< 15. While the CR focus is on the beginning of the Twentieth century to 1983, a few contemporary, classically made small workshop bikes are considered on topic* here These are generally referred to as "KOF" (see # 2 above) but those welded, injection molded, or glued modern wonders belong in some other mail list. Ditto for mountain bikes, "middle weights", BMX, recumbents and balloon tired bikes. Those bikes have merit, but they just do not belong on the Classic Rendezvous. Ditto for components that are post 1983 or those which are harbingers of a new, aesthetically "modern" era (like cycle computers, clipless pedals, index shifting, etc.) If in doubt of the appropriateness of your intended topic, ask the web master first! >>

John J. is describing the Erisman Pacemeter. The cadence magnets had to be cemented into the back of your Campagnolo (not French or Sugino, but Campagnolo!) chainring bolts. There was also an item called the Pacer 2000 which was the first product to put the Veltec wholesaler on the map. The Pacer, to use a current analogy, was about the size of an iPod plus a Blackberry.
