I noticed a bike on ebay that came with some puzzling features Im no familiar with. It turns out this one is "Double Buttered". Naturall being interested in bike tech, I sought clarification from the seller Their reply follows. Dear XXXXX, "Could you explain about the "double buttering" a bit more?" double buttered is a process used to strengthen tubing, as well as th crmolly alloy they use a special coating on the tubing to give it mor strength, some use it on the outside of the tube, some outside an inside and some double outside and inside, in the case of this peugeo its used on the outside and inside of the tubes After reading that, Im no longer sure which of us was taking the pis anymore? til -- till! |

I love the seller's interpretation, but it's not quite accurate - the term is "butted": http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html |

So, if double buttered is coating on the inside and outside of the tubes, then what would triple buttered be? Personally, I'd rather peanut buttered. -- Nick |
