The 2TT seems to work on my Bombadil. Would the bike the the same without it. I don't know as I haven't cut it off to find out. Is it an antiquated design? (candles vs light bulbs) I doubt it as it does show remarkable differences to me when loaded with 70lbs compared to other single top tube touring bikes I've loaded. Does it look good... your choice... since I like it your thoughts on looks are your own.. Is it overly stiff.. hell no! Kinda like folks telling me I don't need a 11 on the rear cassette. Obviously they know not what they say.. for me. Nor do they know what they say about 2TT's beyond what they like or dislike. So embrace the 2TT in you.
I have several bikes .. there are things about my Bombadil I don't like... to much seat post for one.. ahhh thinking of 68cm 2TT Atlantis with mid fork braze ons ... and with an 11x36 rear.. no not needed but I'm bull headed and will put it on just to get the snarky comments about not needing it. :) Trouble is the Bombadil has delivered beyond expectations and performed flawlessly... and a bit more seat post leaves room to stack more stuff on the rear rack and shows off the lugged seat post.. sweet... I do not see any reason for someone to own a purple bicycle. Don't you know that purple paint weighs more, is less aerodynamic, went out of style with checker board square shorts, and fugly to boot. You should be ashamed of your bad self and go back to lighting your house with candles. Though you might want to consider checking the batteries in your smoke detectors first. So I'm off to ride.. had fun... next thread needs to be helmets .. trail .. or hey.... threaded vs thread-less headsets... or .. take your time though there is plenty of 2TT material as yet on explored today.
