September 6, 2005: The old vs new fender stay.
The old design had a slot that went over the upper bolt, it's been replaced by a hole in just the right place. Accuracy versus adjustability. The floppy straps have been replaced by 1/2" rod bent to the right shape and the ineffective brace to the upper brake mounting bolt is currently removed. This new design was also much easier to produce than the original one. I suspect the original design came from Champion's book and was never rethought.
