Well after 3 years, I decided to finally put the fenders on that I had
purchased with the bike. There was a drenching on a rather cold day (for
Texas in March) a few weeks back, and I can't have that road grime all over
me again.
Thoughts of, oh why oh why didn't I just pay the $40 or whatever
Very nice Mark. Definitely looks like it would smooth out the cobblestones.
Well done on the fender line too!

Great report and a very nice build from the photos. You mentioned the
Atlantis climbs better than your other bikes. Any ideas or reasons why
this is so??
I noticed all MIT Atlantis have a 72° STA and with your 89cm PBH, a 1°
slacker STA (from 73° to 72°) results in a 1.3cm increase in
All of these failures are unfortunate.
There is something about the QB though. Anyone have a 54 hanging around that
needs a home? BB intact please! :)

sized tiny knobs. It keeps getting pushed to the back of the build

Totally agree that the Roadini is an awesome bike. I built mine up last

mostly mixed terrain rides on my Hillborne. But, it's gotten a lot of

HI,
I’ve built frames and replaced tubes. Replacement of the BB shell is not
trivial. I’m not sure it can be done with replacing the down-tube, seat tube

this approach last years.
It would be

I have the red Sport version. The main difference, based on their web site, is
that it reaches peak voltage at a slightly higher speed. Standard version
starts creating current at a lower speed. Tradeoff is that the Sport has
slightly lower drag.

Hi Kai,
I'm confused why a cracked bb shell on a qb would be a goner? Did they go away
from lugs in models I havent seen? Seems like a pretty simple lugged fix if one
could get a replacement bb lug.
The qb is a decent quality frame isnt it? Seems worth the investment. (unless
