I'm all for a second top tube... just one parallel to the other one. Having laterals just seems like waay overkill. I guess for heavy-leaded expedition touring to Siberia it makes sense, but for the other 99.5% of the time... On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 7:55 PM, CycloFiend wrote: > on 4/3/10 5

I like the parallel tubes. Kinda' looks kewl. I could see the necessity (possibly) of diagonal bracing on the real large sizes, but seems like parallel double TTs are fine for the 58 size (which happens to be what I would need). On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Matt Critchlow wrote: > I did see
