Shhh. Jur, you weren't supposed to tell anybody. James_Swift has already given me enough grief...

Looking at his pic, looks like he has one of the thinner walled seat tubes. I seem to remember that they increased wall thickness.

Thicker post.

Jur, as for the design, do you think this is the price of not having a proper downtube?

I'm thinking of going the BikeFriday route for the front derailleur now. Since I've moved to the Bay Area/San Francisco, the number of hills has increased dramatically. I'll probably pull a james_swift and convert the swift to a fixie.
