Thanks for the info. I sold most of my bikes to fund my Hunqapillar
project and I have a new 9 speed chain left over that I had for my
Lemond Zurich. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt so narrow that it
would jam in between the cogs. Looks like it will work perfect.

Your photos brought back many memories of rides with friends alongside the
missouri river growing up. i'd be lying to say I didn't miss it. It's funny
how distinct that river looks combined with the surrounding vegetation,
instantly recognizable for me.
Glad to see you had a great trip and thanks
Congrats.

I'm a big guy (240) and my QB is just fine. Over the past year it's become
about the only bike I ride. It's a daily commuter, a weekend bike for long
rides (30-80 miles usually), the bike I use for century rides, and even
loaded down a couple times a year for weekend camping. The only thing it's a
maybe a double top tube version for the big guys? Personally for a
single speed I like lightweight tubing.
Of course after waiting for a year for one... I'd take either.
