Patrick, I am confused, is the clamp diameter for the Bosco different than
the Albatross? Not sure what the difference would be between getting either

As someone who braves the streets of non-hipsterized Brooklyn it was an
interesting read to see how cities with at least attempting to help

I think a practical bike could be made out of CF, but from a marketing
standpoint what is the subset of people who want something that takes 40's,
