What exactly is the reason for the second tt on such a small size as a 56?
Is it just for looks?

Same thing happened to me this summer. I got as far as putting the
order in for a new Sam and ended up cancelling it when I found out
about the extra tube. I called around everywhere to find a shop that
still had the single top tube Sam, but the few that did would only
sell it as a complete bike, built up their way at full retail prices.
In the end I bought a used frame on this list and had it built by
Bikeman.com in Maine, which worked out just fine. Whole thing cost ~
$2000 with hand built XT/Synergy wheels, 46 cm Noodle bars, bar end
shifters, a mid-range Shimano X9 drive train, v brakes and Longfellow
fenders.
I started out with a 10 cm stem, which I later changed for an 8. Now
I'm toying with the idea of putting Alba bars on the 10cm with their
own shifters and brake levers and cable splitters for easy switching.
Not sure if it's worth the $, but it could be fun.
Let us know what you decide to do.

Hi all -
My first time posting...I've been wanting to get a steel lugged bike
for a while now to use for commuting, grocery shopping, rides with the
kids...basically an all around general bike to use when I'm not riding
a road bike.
I've finally landed on the Sam, and have been saving to get enough $
to do a complete build. I'm about half way there, and discovered on
their website that it seems the 56cm only comes with a double top
tube. I emailed a few days ago to ask if this is the case, but haven't
heard back.
So, here's what I'm wondering - is the 56cm Sam only with a double top
tube now? If so, what would you suggest as some other options? I
really like the look and the idea of the Sam, but honestly don't like
the look of the double top tube at all...and if I'm spending that
much, I want to love not only the feel of it when I ride, but also I
want to love the look of it
