Ryan's very unique and stoutly built frame
Very rare: water bottle bosses on the front of the stem!
Look at the dual top tube coming together in a beautifully brazed junction with the headtube
Ryan cut down a wrench to serve as a bridge between the two top tubes and mounted the water bottle bosses to it. Note that the top boss is higher so that the water bottle cage points up.
Screw in pump peg! Use it as a second water bottle cage if you'd prefer.
Wrap around top tube/seat tube junction, scalloped telescoping seat tube
Double clamp seat binder, beautiful junction of the rear end forks with the integrated forks from the wrap around top tubes. Unlike any Friday in existence and very well excecuted.
Also unique are the seat stay mounted cantilevers. Note, too, the clearance for 2"+ tires.
