I'll chime in and and take it a step further. How 'bout not welding
any housing stops on the top tube either? I know this sounds absurd
to most, but I really like the idea of a frame with the barest of
essentials. There's a fellow on Flickr ('one happy cog') who's done a
knock-out job building up a Steamroller, using housing guides for the
rear brake.
So, OK. Why not just get a Surly then? You see, Riv's model would
have lugs, come in a 'deep wino' paint scheme, have more clearance for
girthier tires, and fender tabs on the fork ends and drop outs. The
barest of essentials...
(Clearly I'm trying to avoid ordering a custom job).
