Re: [RBW] The Liftatube fits me perfect

2016-11-01 Thread Bill Lindsay
The Rosco Bubbe has two sets of bottle cage mounts and the Liftatube, so 
it's definitely possible to have two cages and a handle.  It just needs the 
cages to be mounted kind of high up, particularly on the seat tube to be 
out of the way.  For sure both cage bolts need to be above the derailer 
clamp.

I have first-hand experience with the Walnut Liftabike.  My wife bought me 
one which was a very thoughtful gift.  The Honey leather matched my brooks 
B17 perfectly.  Worked great and would have been great for getting up and 
down stairs to the BART.  I ended up returning it only because it 
interfered with one of the bottle cages on the Hillborne.  Great product 
and, if you don't need the second water bottle cage, I'd recommend it.

Grant would cheerfully encourage you to build your own, for cheap or free. 
 Grant has made his own out of Gaffer tape, and of twine.  I can envision 
an easy one from PVC and twine.  Maybe I will build one.

The liftatube definitely looks like a smart addition. Has Riv offered an
add-on handle or strap in the past? I know I've seen one around, made of
leather, maybe elsewhere. Would be a nice add-on for them to market for
those of us who can't acquire a liftatube bike.
