That's great news! I've been thinking of making an offer, but I'm glad you were able to buy it. You need it more that I do. You know, I would be a wreck if somebody stole my QB. Such an awesome bike. Good luck with the build and riding it, John On Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 11:54:45 AM UTC-4,

I understand your front rack mounting point preference, it makes it possible to carry a heavier load than you can with a canti mounted rack. Let me know if you're interested in the Azuki. It's a nice frame and it's a shame to have it hanging from the garage rafters. JohnS On Tuesday, May 26,

"Are there any production frames with a similar 72.5/72.5 and midlong chainstay geometry? If nothing else I might round up an 80s steel touring frame and throw a SimpleOne fork on it." There is a 25 inch 1986 Schwinn Passage for sale on Portland craigslist (in Vancouver) right now for $250.

An ABUS Bordo 6000 75cm folding lock will fit in a SaddleSack XS/Keven's bag. 75cm is kinda short for a lock in general, but I find it more useful than a normal-sized U-lock. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunc

I've posted this a couple of times in lock threads... my solution was to pitlock the wheels and seat and use a compact U-lock for securing the frame to something stationary. The U I chose was an Abus Granit Futura. It's small and light. I really like this setup. I park in public places everyda

I'm so sorry to hear about the theft. It's horrible that we can't just park a bike and relax without feeling the need to haul around a u-lock and wheel cable. I hope someone reports the bike and it is returned to you. I also wish I had suggestions for a single speed replacement but I have li

+1 I have them on both Hillbornes. For me the weight is weight well spent. In low/moderate-risk suburbia I park in lots of places where this is more than what's really called-for but is probably as convenient as locking gets. And in conjunction with a more robust lock it's just that much more d

Hello donavanm, Having your bike stolen sucks, hopefully you can get a new set of wheels soon. Here's a couple of suggestions for you. High Option: If you don't come across a QB/S1 any time soon, I would recommend the 2012 Salsa Casseroll. I bought one last spring when I couldn't find a QB/S1.
