Re: [RBW] Re: QB sizing questions

A 64 cm frame would fit similar to a 60 cm or so Hillborne or Hunqapillar if those were to come in that size. The QB and AHH sizing principles are just about the same as each other. A 63 or 65 cm AHH rider would do fine on a 64 cm QB. The key distinction above is that the Hunqapillar and Hillbo

Curious: why aluminum versus good steel ones? My 650B X 40 or 45 Berthouds weigh 1 1/2 lb complete, about 6-8 oz more than the Aluminum Honjos in about the same size -- actually, IIRC, 559 X 50. But the Berthouds are stronger, I think, and IMO look as good. I think your Vermont rain was shipped to
