As I recall, since the Roadeo is intended as an alternative to carbon bikes for fast club rides, the figuring was that most would end up running some style of brifter so the DT shifter mounts were left off in favor of cable stops. Steve On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 7:26 PM, Forrest ftme...@me.com

The Boulder Bicycles light mount works well for mounting my E3 Pro (euro mounting tab version) to my M12. I added a 1 cm spacer to move the light out to the side so the light body clears the rack and the BB mount arm with room to spare. fwiw This set up is plenty sturdy even though I right

Much appreciated, Patrick. The yellow frame and fork came out of the Motobecane factory with an Astra head badge, I think. Motobecane built that bike for a distributor in Washington State. That's what Sheldon Brown says. The vintage would be in the 70's I would guess. It's a very nice riding bike.
