70s? I thought I'd post some photos of my 60cm 2008 Bomba's chainstays (because I LOVE them) to give an idea of clearances from a visual (including aesthetic) perspective. 50-622 Schwalbe Marathon XR and VO 52mm zeppelin fender for 700c wheel. WI 175 crank with 46/30 rings on a 113 spindle (about .666 mm of chainstay clearance for the big ring after ultimate tightening of crank bolt). I should've pulled the crank up in the last photo to show the clearance there... whoops.

I have now idea if these photos posted or not.... hope they did. -Peter (Happy owner of a twin TT Bomba, but sure he'd love the diaga-Bomba if he had one too (though he thinks Riv should put the Hunqa and diaga- Bomba decals on the diagonal instead of the down-tube).
