Eric, I have (hopefully past tense "had") a loosening bottom bracket on the Atlantis.
I am still waiting for the rim to build a two-speed Sturmey Archer kick-shift) rear wheel for the Quickbeam. The Rambouillet makes too much noise with the current drive train set- up. Need to check the derailleur hanger alignment, derailleur etc... A few minutes after riding the resistance trainer (a Jamis Nova cyclo- cross bike) I heard a "bang" I sounded like a metal floor pump falling onto a tile floor, but the rear tire on the Jamis had blown right through the tread! Guess I need to fix that too now. Right now it's almost midnight and I've assembled most of the blast cabinet in the garage...finish it tomorrow.
