I think one of the critical questions that wasn't asked during the
rSogn design dicussion (IRRC, as the discussions were pulled down), is
"why change the Sogn?" That being said, the new bike sounds really

I think I saw this frameset raw in the box when I was at RBWHQ a
couple months back. I assumed it was a renovelo, a mixte with canti-

looking.

Red is a difficult color to bar-tape. It's not impossible, but a dark

You are right, the seatpost diameter is 31.8, IIRC, but I bought a
shim to fit a 27.2 post. Can't get any nice posts in 31.8, and if I

27.2 VO for the next bike.

You had me convinced that the Fisher was/is too small for you.
Ideally it seems like you'd ask Santa to replace your Fisher with a
Hunqapillar in your size.
On a related note, are you sure your Fisher seatpost is 27.2? I
recall the mountain bikes of 1990 having really chubby seatposts.
Maybe not

I was giving serious thought to buying a second QB and the red color of the
prototype sold me. But the fact that the new QB does not use cantilever
brakes is a deal breaker. I think for any bike using tires this size that
cantilevers (or v-brakes) provide more flexibility and better stopping

Wow interesting that there are no sizes below 56, but i'm also
surprised they don't go to 64cm at least. I would have thought they
