Roland Darboucabe's Zeus Ocana 2000 pictured on the CR site has a 30-spoke rear wheel and a 28-spoke front wheel, unless my oldish eyes deceive me. I've counted three times--I hope I am not about to embarrass myself.

Every other spoke hole has been skipped on the rear hub and the wheel is radially laced on the non-drive side. Is the drive side "Roval-style"?
