GP has written a few times about the development and decision to go with the second top tube. There's also an article about it in the most recent Reader. Online RR#41 - http://www.rivbike.com/assets/payloads/75/original_RR41_web.pdf Orderable RR#41 - http://www.rivbike.com/products/list/books#product=24-072 I've ridden one, and Gino had a nice writeup on his blog about test riding one at length. If the second tube makes it look "heavy" (and I think I'd go with "indestructable"), it rides light. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net T-shirts Now Available: "I've Got Downtube Shifters..."
