The mockups are really helpful, thanks for putting them together. I have to say, i greatly prefer the look of parallel top tubes, if a double TT is the plan, but i'm not on the Hunq list, so my vote is more theoretical.
Two other observations in this discussion though: This is the second Riv frame that seems to be getting significant input from someone other than Grant (Rodeo designed by Mark, Keven at least some decisions on this one). Maybe this has happened before with less discussion, but it's interesting that it's part of the conversation with these frames. Also, if the 2nd top tube angle changes, will the decal have to change so the 2nd line in the Hunq's H matches it? (in the 2tt world, i like that this logo mirrors the frame) -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 7:06 AM, Marty <mgie...@mac.com> wrote: > Here's my crude mock-up to show what seems to be the diagonal > direction, with water bottle bosses and graphics relocated.
