The new seat lug doesn't care what the seat tube angle or any of that
it--it rotates to accommodate. That is a convenience, but in the rotation
dept it's no diff than a standard side-braze. The original Trek lugs from
'78 or so were totally fixed angles, as were the dropouts, and each size
had its
The socketed seat tube lug can be standard across various frame sizes so
long as the seat tube angle remains the same. Seat stay attachment is
simplified. Seat post binder bolt is integrated so this eliminates a
joint. Trek did something similar back in the late '80's. The reason for
tig we
I love it. The headbadge is the bee's knees as well.

I dig it. With the steel grey paint, modernish road double drivetrain and
black-center rims, it's very "Mark's Bike." I think it should have a small
decal on the inside of the left chainstay that says that :-)

I think it looks great! I don't think it'll be competition for the Rodeo as
some have speculated.

Well you need two lugs for the head tube and you also have to get various sizes
depending on headtube angles changing depending on sizes

That seat lug is a smart step for simplifying construction across a lot of
sizes. With the Clems the smaller frames had very curved seatstays whereas the
largest are straight. It must've been a pain to bend all those tubes to spec,
we'll probably not that big of a pain, but pain enough. With the
Pretty nice for a budget bike!
Why the tigg'ing at the head tube instead of elsewhere? I suppose it has to
do with the economics of building, but can someone explain how this choice
affects costs?
Also: any ideas why the socketed seat tube cluster instead of some other
design? Is this one for sty
Stopped by RBW for a few small things today and got to try the
proto-Roadini. Here's an album with some

It is a very comfortable bike to ride, as are all Rivs. 46cm chainstay on
this 57cm, so it's longer than a Roadeo and shorter than Clem, etc. Rid
