Right, but i don't think those clamps will fit these bikes, unless they have the old skinnier downtubes. It seems like the last time this topic went around (maybe it was the BOB list), there isn't a clamp available for oversize steel tubing.
That's a lovely frame - thanks for excellent photos, Bryan. The details on this bike are really lovely. The top head tube lug in particular is so nice that it's almost an afterthought that it also has a practical extension to it. Not to pick on the silver Quickbeam (since the silver and new decals have already taken some abuse), but the color and graphics on the Hillbourne beat it hands-down. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 4:25 PM, James Warren <jimcwar...@earthlink.net> wrote: > > You can't go doing too many things that will raise the price.
