I think the DTT (undertubes!) look kinda' cool, although I wouldn't go out of my way to get one put on, and am not totally hung up on the extra weight (just a little). I do wonder if they reduce the flex of the frame too much. A little flex is good. The whole planing thing, not to mention absorbing some of the high frequency vibration coming through. As long as they don't give that up, then hey, why not.
And yeah, 41 and I get it.
