Yea yea...I'm one of those blame it all on Americuh guys. But these guys obviously must've seen Swobo et al before coming up with this idea.

I really doubt they're spec'ing this with Nitto anything. I bet it's some new OEM bar, probably the same thing that Soma is selling.

No, no, no. Brake lever on the seatpost, brake on the rear wheel (maybe on the wrong side of the seat stays).

2. build crappy hi-ten frames.
3. sell on ebay as "ZOMG, Italian tarck frame!"
4. retire early.
