To back up what @edscoble says:
"The genesis of the TR02 is almost as diverting as its appearance. It is, in essence, an hors catégorie rental bike [...] Many of the design solutions that you find on this bike were driven by that.” The most obvious are the replaceable, stainless steel dropouts: items likely to suffer wear on a privately-owned machine, and still more so on a rental bike."
