Nice! My QB is also the first gen green. I was running drops until about a year ago when I switched those out for Albas with cork grips. I like that riding position much better, and since I climb a lot, the forward bends on the Albas are good for the climbing or aero poses. As I said, I climb a lot, so I switched out the 40/32 for a 32/24. I have a dos eno 16/18 on the drive side, but also a free 22 on the flip side. I'm no blaze, but I can climb Mt. Tamalpais in the 32/22. These are great bikes, and lots of fun.
