Only speculating once again, but I think it was to gain tire clearance. It kicks them "outboard," compared to attaching them to attaching them directly to the seat tube. Has any other Rivendell model ever had this much tire room? Was kind of surprised to read that the bendy stays weren't originally part of the plan - I actually like the look so much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
