Tim, I gave you the easy way out.  Just make sure to never try a 
lift-a-tube bike and you'll never have a problem.  

:-P

My rosco bubbe v2 has the upper tube, and find it useful as well for carrying 
the bike. I have a partial framebag, so the extra tube gives me a rigid tube to 
pick it up with or hang it on my trunk rack.

Curses, Bill Lindsay!!! Just when I thought that the tandem would satisfy my 
Riv needs for, perhaps, 2-4 more years, you casually drop this bomb on me. Now 
that I am back in KC, and living in a new house, I have to, for every freaking 
ride of every freaking bike, come up the rock steps from the walk-out basement. 
This is not so bad in the winter because the freaking hydrangeas are dormant 
and thus, leaving enough room to roll up the hill alongside the steps. Once the 
hydrangeas bloom they will cover the ground next to the stone steps, and I 
will, of course, have my butt royally chewed out if I roll atop said spreading 
hydrangeas. So...the only choice here is for a Rosco lift-a-tube. Oh, and also, 
now I have to retrofit the Hilsen, Roadeo and Hunq with lift-a-tubes as well. 
Bill, from now on, I beg of you, please yield the power of your reviews wisely 
:=) This is only partially, and I do mean partially, tongue in cheek. I really 
want a lift-a-tube now...

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: Do NOT buy a Rivendell bicycle with a Lift-a-tube

[Surlyprof]

I was given the handle by Walnut Studios in Portland and was very impressed 
with their quality and service.  I did end up returning it only because it 
conflicted with the seat tube water bottle cage on my 56 Hillborne.  If you're 
willing to give up a cage, it's a great product and they are nice little musa 
company. A rigid lift-a-tube would be definitely be superior because of handle 
diameter, rigidity and solid bike attachment. If you needed a nice back up 
plan, I'd recommend considering Walnut Studio's lift handle for those "lesser" 
bikes.

Walnut Studio has a leather lift handle called Little Lifter. They did a 
Kickstarter for it a few years back.
