I think 'hinged' was the term that was used back in the day. Although 'rubber cow' is a good description too.
The frame braces were made by a popular 80's after market company, luftmiester. I found them locally, NOS, hidden away for years.
With the frame braces, billet triple clamp, fork brace and progressive suspension she now handles very well.
