Latest trend - double top tube!
OK, it appears the demand for 650b wheels or "29er" bikes have
diminished. So, you ask what is the latest trend? How about DOUBLE TOP TUBES! I'm not talking about a 64 or 68cm frame that could probably use the second tube for added stengthening and stiffness. No, the following is a double top tube on a 56cm frameset: http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/i...comparison.jpg http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/i...e-toptubes.jpg http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/i...rnes-front.jpg Get with it, you know you all want one.... |

All of the above links get the message: Page or Link Not Found Ar well. But you hit the nail on the head, they have to think of something new to sell more bikes. People seem to be attracted to new designs. As e.g. these new Nazi helmets. They were tested and found inadequate - but within a few months, most cyclists here in my city are wearing them (those that do wear helmets). -- Dieter Britz (dieterhansbritzatgmail.com) |
