I love the clearcoat. Need to post a couple new photos, as I have
rotated (forward) and lowered the bars a bit, switched backnto my
Brooks finesse saddle, and swapped pedals. I also had a good fitting
done locally, and I we changed the saddle height a bit. Fits great.

Thanks Mike.. I am still going to hold out hope of selling the whole
bike, but if no one pulls the trigger by the end of the year I may
decide to part it out. I do have quite a few people interested in the
wheels, so maybe I will end up breaking it up.
I'll keep you posted.

Yes, color primarily :^) Luckily the Hillborne only comes in one standard color
now. After seeing Velouria's Sam on her blog "Lovely Bicycles" I knew I wanted
one.
The Roadeo does seem to be different in that it is primarily made for speed

I guess I'm mostly worried about the fact that Chrismas lights run on
120v, and the generator is rated at 6v. Since resistance of the

still have Ohm's law right). Not

That's a cool paint job.
I tried Hetres on a Bleriot but I think they accentuate the wheel flop
too much.

If you have (or had) an Atlantis, do (did) you prefer it set up with
Moustache bars or with drops such as the Noodles? My likely use would
be mostly commuting, some gravel/dirt, non-paved rail trails, but no
derring-do rough stuff. Maybe short, weekend tours where the daily
mileage doesn't exceed 6

OK that statement tells me you're going to need a little bit more help
than a Radio Shack URL. :-)
You can't use lights that are designed for 120V line power. And I have
no idea what power those draw, but it's probably more than 3

Agreed- "handlebar fetishism" is a virulent disease for which there is

I've had my Atlantis set-up with both 'stache bars and Noodles. I
definitely prefer the Noodles. I like mustache bars a lot too. For
short rides in traffic and trail riding I think I might even prefer
them to the Noodles. But the Noodles aren't even close to being bad
for those things; and they're

I first tried the M-bars on my Bombadil and loved them for the rough trails.
However, I couldn't get hand and neck pain free when riding on the streets
on even short commutes. Since I had the 48 Noodles on my AHH I swapped the

Hi Forrest -
I've tried moustache bars on a bunch of my bikes. They usually last a

Amen.
The only reluctance I had on the Quickbeam was that it wouldn't fit
wider tires, but then I found I could ride 28s on dirt roads, and 32s
on singletrack, and 35s on gravel, and 40s just 'cause... and now I
have to trim the knobs off 700c fatties, and still they bzzap! on my

I really like M-bars for all-round riding up to a couple hours. Longer
rides, and I miss the drop position. Be sure to get a shorter stem with
them though. Level with seat height was fine for me, but the shorter stem
was critical.
Have fun!
