Arch & Truss Bar Bicycles, A Catalog Of Information

[bricycle]

I think someone needs to explain the difference between truss, drop bar & arch bar.......

Drop bar (Camel back)~ drops near saddle for ease of mounting.(not what I wish here)
Arch (basically double arch)~ dual curved/bent top tubes
Truss bar~ a straight or dropped upper top tube connected in some means with a lower curved or bent tube.
