Thanks all. This bike features the new Silver tapered seat tube. It flares to 31.8mm about halfway down. Those of you who are assembling a build kit for your LBS to build might get caught off guard by that detail. The CX70 front derailleur Is a 31.8mm clamp with optional spacers so I was covered.
Over the years, whenever I look at a step through of this kind I imagine load wanting to fold the seat tube in half. This bike has an oversized lower seat tube and the liftatube anchoring the seat tube to the downtube. It puts me more at ease. I think it will be plenty stout for anything I might use it for. My weekends are completely packed with activities so I won't be able to take it on the trails for a couple days Bill Lindsay El Cerrito Ca. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
