Well it's a good thing that no one purchased any of my bikes. I got out on the Quickbeam several times in the last couple of weeks. It rides so nice and was such a joy. I need to do some work on it... attach dyno hub wires better and look into the 700x37 Pasela tires that have been so spectacular on my AHH. I also pout albastach bars on this bike and need to fix tape and one cable housing that is mm's to short and been to lazy to mess with it. Regardless this bike is exceptional and I was crazy to think about selling it even if it doesn't get ridden enough.
I had also put up an either or with the Ram and AHH and after having finally got the AHH setup with the Pasela, steel fenders flaps and racks it is perrrrrfect and riding sweet as a camera and pub crawl bike. While the RAM is just beyond belief as an event bike / go fast / century / good weather kinda thing though I have to change bar tape one of these days. What was I thinking.. sheesh... I would have shot myself had either of these sold. The AHH http://www.flickr.com/photos/tksleeper/9953574704/ Has that used look and utlra comfortable. Da RAM http://www.flickr.com/photos/tksleeper/9692508879/ My go fast bike... just a great ride for fair weather riding. The QB The one I was so intent of half assed getting rid of. I still think it deserves a better home.. just to lazy to work at selling it or giving it away. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tksleeper/9790602044/ My wife the one who is such a saint has indicated that the Atlantis though duplicating much of the Bombadil and AHH was still a good buy for me.. how could I turn that down?? I'll just have to build it up for it's own identity and niche. Even though it was never for sale and won't be since it's my favorite tour bike of all time and since it works so well going down stairs, over curbs and the only one with the double toptube I couldn't let it go.. here it is for bike race photo duty... http://www.flickr.com/photos/tksleeper/9652180012/ My favorite add ons to date: The Large Saddlesack - I can't speak loudly enough or praise it high enough. Just the perfect bag for me in most situations. The E-Delux Headlight - Even though I have a luxes B I still like the day to day operation and workings of the E-Delux better. Favorite Tires: 700x37 Pasela - just a sweet ride. 700x32 Gran Boise - Makes my go fast fast. :) 700x50 Supreme Evo Series - Almost as flat resistent as the marathon plus without the weight and still gives a quick feeling at 45psi. The rest cranks, bar tape dyno's etc seem to be whatever fits or is there at the time. .. the Sugino triple at 120 bucks has to rate in there for price as does the Shimano bar ends.. I just don't think about them.. much like BMX style platform pedals.. more about bearing life than looks and who makes them. It's all good.. and that's about where I'm at today.. hoping to get another 30 miler in tonight after work. Hope all is well with each of you Kelly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
