going North look just as ugly.

Yes! I can't believe I let that auto correct go out. Sonora, not Sonoma.
Sonoma would be great, but the bike is in gold country in the Sierra foothills.

Project Trigger Finger Betty well underway. All new 9 speed drivetrain
including black trigger shifters. Here is how the concept looks in execution.

I like these and I might use them on my bike. But it looks like it would
use opposing muscle groups. Her balance wiring is marginal. I think it's
going to be triggers.

Thanks everybody for dragging me into 2010 when Dynasys became the cool
thing. Somehow I managed to miss all of that, probably out riding my bike.
It certainly is not mentioned in the adverts for shifters.
Let me take a step back and ask some advice: this is being driven by my
wife's somewhat
setup. Any ideas, please? What did I miss?
(I have not tried the front yet, but I know that it may not work either
because the road/MTB front derailers do have different ratios. I am ready
to swap in a Deore just in case.)
Thanks

Greetings non-lurkers -
I like the idea of a so-called club racer to go beside the Bombadil,
but the Roadeo comes in freakishly small sizes, not fit for a healthy

After careful consideration, I am. *not* buying the $699 QB frame. I
know its size commands a premium, and so the price probably isn't too high.
But I really can't use a single speed bike on longish rides (which are my

Yeah, I like these ideas, just what I had in mind. Is there any history

Well I've been eyeballing the 68 frame - can somebody answer some questions?
You can't buy a frame-only QB, so it's hard to compare this price to a new
bike. Any opinions about the price point?

Marty, this build is going pretty smooth, except the stupid interrupter

Heavy tubes are good - As a Clydesdale, I need them, along with balloon

Are you planning to ride mostly off-road? You will get a lot of attention
