Mike's Tubular fork brace, whos running one?

Regarding the provenance of the hoop-type brace, the UK bike mags of the '70s had adverts for the Muscle Brace which was identical to that.
Whether they were the originals, I very much doubt. I suspect they simply revived it from somewhere else.
All the same, there was a bit of hoo-hah about the Muscle Brace in the bike press at the time, almost as if an entire generation of bike journos had never seen one before, so who knows when it was first thought of and when it disappeared first time around.
