When I had my too-big-for-me QB, I loved riding it ss and turned to it for most errands and city riding, as well as an occasional 50 mile jaunt.
Now that I have a frame-that-fits-me waiting to be built up (fixed - I'm just deciding on a crank and gear ratio), I cant' wait to ride it regularly. I have a Phil rear wheel that will allow metal fenders (drop-down) but not shifting unless I use a DOS with appropriate front action to keep the rear wheel in place. Here's the old one (frenchy fit!), now in the happy hands of someone else! http://www.flickr.com/photos/25671...@n02/4135823591/ Esteban San Diego, Calif.
