I guess we usually see these wearing some other marque's badge? Seems to ha ve the BC hallmarks, e.g., the seatstay caps.

hi gang,
How common was this style of seatstay cap? I never saw one before I picke d up my beloved Raleigh Team 753 frameset a few years back. Since then, I 've also seen a well used Bertin with similar oversize seatstay caps.
So what's the story? Is just a matter of style that never became popular? A style that saves weight, but doesn't look as sleek as other caps? Ju st too much work to do on every model?
I have to admit that when I first saw those oversize caps on my Raleigh Tea m, I did have the urge to grab a file and make them flush with the seat sta y tubing. :-) Just didn't look like the job was finished.
