Yeah, but that was a seat lug for a diamond frame bike, it had a socket for a top tube. I guess you could cut it off, but it seems silly to go to all that trouble to make a seat lug and then have to modify it. Mountain Mixte/Appaloosa would be awesome! On Wednesday, September 18, 2013

I've noticed a trend of a lot of guys buying and riding Betty Foys as opposed to the black mixte that Rivendell sells. I don't know if that's just an availability issue or what but it makes sense to have a mixte that is neither feminine nor masculine in name and appearance. On Tuesday,
