Re: [RBW] Re: (perhaps) dumb question time (bottle bosses)

I still think it would’ve been neat to include some cargo bosses behind the seat tube on some of the longer chainstays models like Gus, Joe, and Clem. There’s so much space back there, I had a custom frame bag made to fit back there. It holds a lot, too!BrianLex KY On Sep 20, 2024, at 1:29 PM, Greg

I'd agree with the above sentiments that the name was settled on before the final iteration of the bike. If the bike was named after the final design was complete, I think 'RoaDuo' would be fitting Brian On Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 6:52:56 PM UTC-5 Patrick Moore wrote

I have one of these. It’s a nice tool that packs a lot into a small package. I particularly like the chain pliers and the valve tools.
