I'm pretty sure *Steve Paliscar* has the following recurring nightmare:
not even my Evil Twin. who is he, anyway?
Steve is quietly enjoying a cup of tea and a book of poetry, when he
notices a faint but menacing 'zipping' sound. He looks around his
room and finds nothing. He tries to go back to his reading, but the
zipping continues. He gets up to investigate and pads to the bike
room. To his horror, he finds his M.A.P. being attacked by an angry
swarm of zip ties.

Misplaced chain stay bridge for good fender line is a common
defect in
Rivendell designs. A friend of mine has an Atlantis whose chain stay
bridge is positioned so far from ideal she needed to use the full
length
of a wine cork as a spacer in order to get a decent fender line.
Although providing ample clearance for fenders is high on the list,
sweating the details for perfect permanent mounting doesn't get much
attention. (After all, consider the whole zip-tie the fenders on
thing...)
