I don't get the two top tube thing. I ride the 56 Sam and putting two top tubes on it seems like it would take an elegant design and turn it into a five-legged chair. I understand the strength argument, just can't see why it would be necessary. This bike's already pretty stout. I also wonder why Rivendell would dilute the successful brand associated with the Sam with essentially three different bikes--the original canti version, the side-pull version, and a mutant Samapillar.
