Sounds like a great plan. I'm going to try and make it but will depend on the
date. I'm up for either/both camping or B&B's, hotels. My daughter lives in
Boston so I'll have a chance to visit. Maybe she'll join us too. Riv east this

I too would be interested in the trip to the Vineyard. I live in New Haven,

I get you Jimit occurs to me that these tall head tubes
and up sloping head tubes minimize the whole triangle thing and the
second top tube restores that. This of course keeps the bar position
high at same time keeping the frame stronger plus the frame also fits
more variable sized ride
Oops I meant up sloping top tubes...

im kinda over the double top tube/ undertube, yay or nay. like jim showed,
they have pretty classic single tubed bikes available, as well as the double
tubers. seems like everyone should be happy.

Grant has as much as admitted he doesn't really *know* if the triangulation
a second tube returns to larger bikes "matters." He understands it in
theory, and likes the way it looks.
