As far as I can tell, there is no reason. My recollection from the Blug is that the frame was originally going to have a seattube angle incompatible with front derailers, but it didn't end up that way. The bicycle as shipped doesn't have one because no one spec'd it. Joe "stick shift" Bernard Vallejo, CA.
