If anyone is interested I just created to Photo Albums on Flickr.

One is a eries of 11 images of my $15.00 MTB after i converted it to a drop bar fire/ogging/mining road tourer. The images show thebolt mounts i talked about in another thread.

The other shows the diassembled and cleaned 6-speed Uniglide cassette I freed from a damaged wheel I was then able to true. The wheel and cassette were given to me.

Good looking bike. But what size frame is it? I can't get two big
bottles on the down tube of my bike :-(

Horizontal top tube. 20" frame measured vertically from centre of bottom bracket to top of top tube. One bottle mount is closer to the bb than normally if there's only one.

Cheers

I see the pump mounted on the seat tube, but that aside do you like
the two bottle down tube? Or to put it another way, if you didn't
carry the pump would you have done it that way?

My road bikes are about 20", or more accurately 50 cm., and looking at
them it is a pretty tight fit.

Bottle mounts are brazed on and are original to the frame.

No bottle mount on the seat tube but I'll be putting a pair of Rivnuts there for one bottle.

I had a Bianchi MTB back in tthe 1980s.
that had 2 bottles on top of the down tube, 1 bottle under tthe down tube, 1 bottle on the front of the seat tube and 1 bottle behind the seat tube. It also had 2 bottles on but behind the handle bar.

Here's a link to an image of that bike. It's poor quality because it's scanned from a 3x5 inches photo.

The only thing with the 2 downtube bottles on the current bike is that they can't be 750ml ones.
When I'm touring fire/logging/mining roads I like lots of water ready
to hand.

Cheers

Yes, you can't have too much water, but I never thought of having two
bottles on the down tube. In the hot season I carry the usual one on
the seat and one on the down tube and a two bottle mount behind the
seat,

But I'm (slowly) building another road bike with a good light frame
and might try modifying the bike I'm replacing to a 3 or 4 bottle
carrier.

The nice thing about a steel frame is that one can add and subtract
things like bottle mount nuts to one's heart desire.

Frank doesn't, he was mocking a prior scaremonger who thinks
that the world will end or some such if a consumer installs
the same fastener as most modern bikes use.
