+===== 1980 Bruiser =====
+The owner claims it's a 1979, but the [[https://mmbhof.org/|MMBHOF]] history on [[https://mmbhof.org/glenn-odell/|Glenn Odell]] states that he first made Bruisers in 1980.  Certainly this example is older than the 1981 model, below, with older components, lack of cable braze ons and drum brakes both front & back.  Shimano RD-6200 (600EX) - (1978-84).  Stronglight 99 BIS drillium triple crankset.
+Note that this is the //**short cage**// rear derailleur, with a 26T capacity, and not the RD-6210 with a 35T capacity.  This tortured derailleur could not possibly shift cleanly across all 15 gears.((Cross chaining large to large would likely tear the derailleur off - so it seems likely this isn't an original derailleur...))

-Drum brakes!  Was that due to steel rims or simply klunker nostalgia?
