Very nice!

So 2004 was a "year that changed everything." That year brought:

- Full commitment to 650B by making frames for it
- The country bike (splitting difference between Atantis-tourer and "Road")
- Bikes made for centerpulls or extra-long clearance sidepulls (even though the 
Tektros and Silvers were still a couple years away)
- Commitment to good step-through frames

The company that was already synonymous with the term All-Rounder took that 
spirit a couple steps further in 2004. Closely related to that, Fun was on the 
grow too. Quickbeam!
