Pro Tour (1976-84)

Over the years the Pro Tour had Tange #2 tubing (known as Champion #2). Early models were only 10 speeds but featured wide range gearing. Rather than cantilevers, these models featured center-pull brakes with the calipers mounted directly to brazed-on frame bosses to reduce flex. Later versions (Pro Tour 15) featured triple cranksets and cantilever brakes.
