The first time I ever went into the Rivendell shop, Grant let me ride 3 Rambouilets...and I commented how dramatic the increase on stability was as the size of the bike went up.
His analogy was comparing the difference between writing with a pen when the "leak cap" was on the top of the pen, and when it was removed. The pen with the cap removed is much more unstable. (The larger bike with the top tube higher above the wheels was more stable.) Aside from added stiffness, I'm wondering if the second top tube has the same effect on the stability of the bike as the pen with the cap? More weight up top... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
