Q/R lever direction: In the old days there were two ways for the rear
1. Horizontal forward
2. Bisecting the seat and chainstays
and two for the front:
1. Horizontal rear
2. Parallel with fork blade, more or less.
In time trials people made them parallel.

That Atlantis is still hot at 26lbs, because it's so bomber and still
