you modified later that you wish had come on the stock bike? Any tips
appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any responses. It's great to be able to join

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate it.
The Paul brakes look great and the bb lockring is a good tip--didn't
know there was such a thing.
I'm looking forward to riding freewheel again, but must admit that I
got hooked on riding fixed while I was living in Japan (a happy
accident and a long story). I
Thanks for the warm welcome and great information.
I just got back from Rivendell this evening. Here's what I've decided
on so far, based on your recommendations and the input of the
Rivendell folk. I went with the CR720s for the brakes. I also decided
to start off with noodle bars, the mini-fro

I take the shoulder strap off and stash it in the bag and use velcro
strips from the hardware store to lash the bag to my noodle bars. I

Wow!
Are you sure you want to put decals on that ride? It's absolutely
gorgeous as-is.

I'm with you -- I think that would look really nice. Besides, the
decal will be on top of the clearcoat, so it's no problem if you

Very cool.

Hi all,
One of the bolts that attaches to the rack stays on the fork of my

I love my Quickbeam. I've been riding it as a daily commuter in San
Francisco since I bought it last fall, with some weekend trips across
the bridge and into Marin. The Beam came set-up with noodle bars,
which I really like. For most of my riding, though, which involves
