Thank you for your thoughts and experience. A bit more about me and the QB. I am 6ft with an 89cm PBH, and enjoy Russ Roca's 'Party Pace.' When I called Riv Hq to order the QB, the thoughtful person asked if I intended to ride it offroad. I said yes which hasn't been the case. So I took their suggestion of a 60cm frame. Since 2005 the handlebars have risen, and the tires and pedals have gotten bigger. I agree with Minh that the frame is on the small side but it feels good to ride. I would say the reach on the QB is on the long side of comfortable for me with its 58cm top tube and 12cm stem. I am hoping to come up and back some with a change to a riser bar. My favorite road bike these days is a 62cm Legolas. The QB and Legolas achieve the same riding position including bar-height and reach.
Thanks Minh for your applicable experience. Jeffery, I like the idea of keeping my current drop-bar setup for swapping back, at least for some long trial period. Thanks DavidP for the WatBars.com graphic. I had forgotten about that site. I have years of experience with a Mustache bar that I used incorrectly too low. I think I want more rise, brake levers at the side hand position. I don't think I need the more-swept back Billie bar position.
