Yeah, but that was a seat lug for a diamond frame bike, it had a socket for 
a top tube.  I guess you could cut it off, but it seems silly to go to all 
that trouble to make a seat lug and then have to modify it.

[RBW] Re: New Mixte?

2013-09-18 Thread Tom Virgil 
Leah,

Welcome to the world multiple Rivendell bike ownership.  Your Betty is drop 
dead gorgeous, but when you are not riding her, she is lonely and needs a 
friend in the bike stable.

I have been dangerously close (with all due respect to the great Sam 
Hilborne).  The thought of what retribution would be required to satisfy 
dear wife usually sobers me up.

Bet regards,

Tom

Remember there was that super-involved seat lug on the BLUG, which said it 
was going to be on a new bike in one and only one huge size.  Then Grant 
had the followup that he could make multiple sizes with that lug by varying 
chainstay length with each frame size.  Maybe this will be that?
