Yeah, the #2 engine tends to incinerate stuff on the rear rack, and nobody likes you in pacelines...
The good thing about gas pipe that seldom gets mentioned is that it's less prone to denting than lighter, classier, thin-walled tubing. (I admit that that's a purely empirical observation on my part.) That should count for something, shouldn't it? I always thought that bike manufacturers should have talked up their low-end stuff as "77% more dent-resistant that Reynolds 531," or whatever.
