I just think the yoke's been rammed in there because it's not the right size. Could be wrong. The exposed bit of the post is well corroded.

bike shops do bikes
edit: oh, Avid BB-7 Road Disc Brakes are mechanical. I wouldn't bother so. Mechs are actually less powerful than V brakes, due to cable flex and less leverage at the point of braking (ie near center of wheel vrs rim.)
Yeah stay away from the mechanical disc brakes. Better off with standard ones.
They all sell brand name bikes - most of them with gears and derailleurs and other crap that I have no interest in.
I just want a good frame, drive train, brakes and wheels.
cheers bosses... I haven't a clue about disk brakes so this is handy to know... The question was on behalf of my g/f. we're getting her a new bike for commuting and the occaional 1-2 week tour.
we liked the look of the kona dew drop but it has those brakes... hmmm

Does look like a good bike, I just don't see the point in mechanical disc brakes for the same reasons as flashback outlined. I don't think they're much worse than v-brakes though.
Christ I'm a nerd.
