If this is true, this would explain the stem uses on both bikes yummy linked above. The person with the 001 is using a Thomso Elite x4 and the person with 002 is using a Dimension, a 26mm stem.

Ah.. that's gotta be it. I noticed tokyo fixed gear also has rb002 and the specs for comparison and the width seems different too.

001 = 25.4mm clamp, 380mm width
002 = 26mm clamp, 370mm width

Personally, I love my RB002s. They were pricy, but i'll probably keep them for as long as I ride fixed.
