On Keven's, there is a bit added on to the downtube shifter cable boss that

appears. Anyone know what this part is?
Also, is an Appaloosa production run in the works?

For extending touring, I wonder if a frame bag would work on that bike? That

That's the distance from the center of the BB to the ground. With the
