Mystery bikes, or "tentacular long bikes". Rosco Bubbe and Bosco Rubbe also were placeholders for possible bike names. Remember that BMX-ish bike with a fork crown that was on the Blug, or was it the knot-hole. They referred to it as Rosco Bubbe. Looking back on that, that was most likely not an actual prototype BMX or kids' bike. It was more likely a prototype merely to enable Riv to evaluate the joining-work of their vendor on a bike that was part-tigged and partly lugged. If all you need to see are a bunch of joints, and if you prefer to see them in a completed frame of some kind, then I suppose it makes sense that it be little.
