Yes. Whatever else fixed riding does, it definitely mucks up your approach to descents (especially on twisting roads). It's always kind of a shock to be able to tuck into a descending turn and enjoy the luxury of keeping the outside pedal down. It's fun on the QB to see how much momentum you can carry, especially since you are likely to be spun out on the freewheel. Everytime I do that, the cornering performance of the Quickbeam just makes me smile and thank Grant. - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "Nigel did some work for some of the other riders at Allied, onces who still rode metal.
