Full braze-ons for everything seem to have popped up in the late-70s, but braze-ons did exist before that. My old 50s Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix had a braze-on for the rear shifter and one for the housing stop on the right chainstay. There may have also been a pump peg too. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Vancouver, B.C.
