Welcome! The QB is an incredibly versatile bike. Mine started with moustache bars, morphed to cross bars and knobbies, and currently has albatross bars, Schwalbe Fat Apples, and a Sackville saddle bag. I'm thinking of putting drop bars back on it, and adding fenders and a front rack. I run fixed on one side. I used a BB lockring and a little Loctite and I've had no problems. I also have the stock Shimano brakes. I find them a bit weak for my 220 lbs, especially on steeper dirt hills. I have Paul Neo-retros on my Legolas, and that's what I will probably put on the QB some day.
