I don't have a 61cm Bleriot but would you consider selling your 59cm
Bleriot frame? Thanks

How about using a Mark's rack with four point mounting? Should be
more stable than mounting to the center of the fork crown. I have
one of those other bikes also, and hacked a four point mount for a
cheap Nashbar rack that stiffened it up write a bit.

The Atlantis is our most versatile bike, our best-seller, and as evidence of
its mature design, is virtually unchanged since we introduced it as our first
production bike in 1999.75. It is ideal for loaded touring, trail riding,
commuting, and general riding where you're likely to

I know there have already been some posts on this topic, but I just wanted
to check in about something...
If one wanted to set up a SimpleOne with the 40/32 quickbeam crankset and
with a White Ind DOS freewheel, is it true that it would have to be either
the 16/18 or the 17/19 freewheel and NOT

Have you made progress on your decision? It seems that you are leaning to
the 54cm Hunqa and that sounds to me like it would be an excellent choice.
The total list of all possible choices of Rivs seems like it would be:
1. 54cm Hunqa
2. 56cm Atlantis. Pro: A touch lighter Con:
I really like the Atlantis too and have wanted one for some time; I
love the color. I am sure it would do all I would want it to do. For
now though the $500 price difference is important and I'd be really
happy with the Hunqapillar so I cannot see spending the extra money on
the Atlantis. I am

Variations on this question have been asked before but now that there

No not at all- I use the 16/19 on my QB and it's very handy. Typical
gears you'll use are 40/16, 40/19, or 32/19 (Or in my case 32/22 since there
is a 22t f/w on the flipside), so you'd set up your chain length for that.
You wouldn't want to shift from 40/19 to 32/16 even if the

How often do you shift your QB? You have 3 speeds with your setup, what
percentage of the time do you ride in each? I am guessing that one gets 80 or
90 percent of the use.
I really like the idea of my QB having two gears. I changed gearing once on a
ride just to see how quickly I could

I love the ride of the QB, but I like gears and never wanted to get off the
bike to shift. So I bought my QB with schemes of somehow making it a shifter.
Right now, it's a 3 speed shifted at the crank (24-36-46) with a front
derailleur and only one cog in the back. (I use a friction bar-end

Yeah, suspension might be nice. I rode the Montana section in 1998 and
had a suspension front fork--a Voodoo Erzulie. I do not know about
the rest of the route but the MT section was mostly dirt roads that I
*think* would be OK with fat tires at low pressure. In fact, I

Too much spinning. I think in a flattish place like this the mid to

I believe these are fashioned after the porteur bikes, which used the
additional attach points of the fork crown (as opposed to a single
brake-bolt mount) to add strength and stability at the rack level for
the typically bigger and heavier loads carried on the wider porteur
racks.

I live in the rather flat Piedmont region of NC (Greensboro) and I've
had a Quickbeam for 2+ years now. The gearing I've got it is the 40/32

the flop.
I have used the fixed gear approx 99% of my riding, as I only recall

So I am going to give this a shot - find an old fender mounted tail light.
Gut it. Install the E3 tail light. Attach to fender. Hopefully it works!

I use the 16-19 with a 39x36 but it would work with a 40x32 also. I
find I ride 90% of the time in the 39x16 (66) but plan on a 22 tooth
freewheel for the flip side for off road and steeper climbs. I use my
36x19 primarily for hills headwinds or just when I am puttering
around. I don't find that
I know this is a bit of a crossover, but I haven't seen it discussed yet.
Jan (Bicycle Quarterly) announced the crank they are working on:

This looks like an ideal crank for my Hilsen now that I've tried and liked a
