I like the double top tubes, even on not-super-large bikes that may or may
not need them, like Jason's Bombadil (love it).
I also like the Hunq diagatube, even if it would require 2 frame bags
instead of 1 (but could be a good thing - separate the water bladder(s)
from the rest).

Pat, all I can add since I've not self-supported the GAP-CO trip is that

Quite a few inquiries but no offers yet. Someone asked if I would sell the

Yes I will. Frame, 2 forks in matching powdercoat, custom racks and 2 sets

Thanks, Pam. I'm in the DC area (Herndon, VA) but it's spring and all

would rather not order and return 5 FD if possible.

I wanted Eric to build me a fast version of my Rivendell Sam Hillborne but

The road FD's that I've set up with 24/26 low rings have all shifted

If the FD is hitting the frame raise it until it does clear, then test it

Garth is right, you can use a road derailleur (or any other) and simply
raise it high enough to clear the stay. I've done than many times with no
shifting problems.

I have a 59cm Atlantis with double top tube. I like DTT better if they're
curved the way mine is rather than running parallel to the actual top tube.
A very small part of me doesn't like how the curved tube gives the bike a
decidedly "beach cruiser" look, because the bike is a billion times more

Tom,
in DC area bike coops Phoenix or Velocity have used parts. They sell

But I had trouble with a front triple myself. Even after going to a

There's no rack/decaleur link in the main interface of the French version,
