A Cicli Paletti banner at a cyclocross race caught my eye, a brand I wasn't familiar with (there is seemingly no end to the bike brands in Italy). I learned they are located in Modena.
One technology innovation they claim is the "integral braking system" in which the the front brake is built into the fork blades; the rear brake is shrouded. They claim this innovation began in 1987; the pictured bike appears to be more recent.

That's certainly unique but I bet it makes adjusting Deltas seem easy. :-)
