I've never pulled together a list of such specs, but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate or accurate. It seems from his mentions of the topic that Grant pulls from a variety of quality makers on tubing, sometimes mixing them as he feels necessary on a given frame project. Part of the problem (skim the framebuilders forums for verification) is obtaining tubing with consistent specs. The manufacturers who can produce reliably consistent, high quality steel tubing for use in bicycle frames are probably not that well known, in general, "stateside". And I'd expect it might be to prevent some of the false equivilences which might be drawn by another maker, stating something like "these are the same tubes which Rivendell uses..." - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Gallery updates now appear here - http://cyclofiend.blogspot.com "I had to ride slow because I was taking my guerrilla route, the one I follow when I assume that everyone in a car is out to get me." -- Neal Stephenson, "Zodiac" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
