The best part of the current Bomba for me is its super easy to carry
when I need to, and I can mount it on my workstand on the middle TT,
making it easier to work on.
The diagonal tube will negate all that.

Hi Jordan. How many nights are you planning and what type of distance
would you like to do each day? A ride around the entire bay won't take
too many days. For starters, you can look into China Camp (CycloFiend

country--pretty climb-y)
Here's a great article on bike camping from the SF Chronicle from a
