I'm about 80/20 on this. I am 80% sure that Grant was joking when he
suggested that in the reader. I've fallen for a straight-faced
statement in another Riv posting that I thought was a great idea,
asked them if I could buy it and they said "dude! that was a joke."
If he wasn't joking, the remain
Speaking of timber and lugged steel... I recall seeing in one of the
Riv-Readers an awesome idea of Grant's for adding a second top-tube by
snuggly securing a piece of wood as the second tube. Have any of the
more handy folks in this group done this sort of thing yet, and are
there any tips for how
I came across this image recently and thought that now you can have
the best of both worlds -- lugged steel with a superb wood appearance:

This is a good examle of the type of detail you can encounter, and
stop to enjoy, when traveling by bike. Were you in a car, you'd just
whiz by & perhaps note "Nice wood framing".
