BTW, Bill, what's your opinion of the lift-a-tube? Sent from my iPhone

Here's the punchline content: If you carry bikes up and down stairs frequently, you might be tempted to buy one of the Rosco Bubbe frames with a Lift-a-tube. I was tempted like you, and I bought one. I've commuted with it for a couple weeks, and now I can report that you should not buy one.....because it will make you hate how lame and stupid all your other bikes are when it comes to portaging up and down stairs. I've had to use a different bike as my BART bike the last two days, and carrying it up and down BART stairs in the past was "fine". It was "not a big problem". Now that I'm conditioned to the excellence of the lift-a-tube, carrying a normal bike up the stairs is like an inhuman torture device. I'm telling you, if you think it's fine carrying your bike up stairs or down stairs, then DO NOT try a lift-a-tube bike, because it will ruin you. Remain in the bliss of your ignorance. Seriously though, using a different bike made it sink in just how awesome the lift-a-tube is. If you never carry a bike up or down stairs, you don't need a lift-a-tube. If the bike you carry up and down stairs is stripped down, light weight and uncluttered so it's easy to shoulder, then you probably don't need a lift-a-tube. The liftatube is fabulous for everybody else, and I'm now in a state where I probably won't use most of my other bikes as BART bikes, because I'm spoiled by the lift-a-tube. If you have a bunch of bikes and don't want to be similarly spoiled, don't try a lift-a-tube bike.
