My last comment was kind of snarky, so in an effort to redeem myself... here's an actual sincere response...
I went with 2TT on a whim. I was placing my order on the phone and Grant said something like "You can get 2tt on a 65 if you want." And I said something like "uuuuuuuhhhh... sure but only if I get a 2nd head badge too." He said sure and I think I heard him smile over the phone. 2 things I've found about the under tube that I really like... it provides a place to rest the palm of my hand when I shift (DT shifters). And it gives a solid place to lift/shoulder the bike even with a pump under the upper top tube. This is sort of anecdotal and its just an "n" of 1 so it might just be wishful thinking on my part... I've heard hilsen owners talk about their bikes being flexy when carrying a load. I've had weekend size loads on my 2tt and it was solid. Mine got noticeably squirely when I had 60 pounds on the rear rack and 20 or so on the front but that was more me loading it up just to see what happened. Unloaded, I notice no stiffness difference between my 2tt and a friend's 1tt of the same size. But I buy into the idea that it adds stiffness when the bike is loaded. --Andy On Wednesday, May 9, 2012 7:35:33 AM UTC-7, Kayakguy wrote: > > I haven't been to the Rivendell site for awhile and I see all these > double tubes.
