Hi all,

Finally finished my Q45. I'm really gonna love riding this bike for the rest of my days. Hope these pointers are helpful to someone out there.

Looks like a great ride. What were the specs on the wheels and tires again?

be sure to buy a non-boost front wheel. I bought a boost one at first, and had to place a 2nd order for another wheel with a non-boost hub. So, paid over $600 for my wheels in the end :/
I guess I'll put this extra wheel on my wife's DF bike or something.

Very nice. You can double wrap bar tape if you want it fatter. Just pre wrap with some old tape first. If thats too fat cut an old inner tube legnth ways and wrap the bars with that before the tape. You'd only have to do it up to the levers if thats all you want.

Awesome build. BTW: Did I hear you say you also kiteboard? If yes, where do you kite?

Thanks yes it's been sublime riding this thing recently. Kiteboarding here in Michigan at Metro Beach sometimes Sterling State Park. Did Frankfort MI one time. The winter is awesome here too with snowkiting the same spots on the lake. Can't recommend kiteboarding enough to anyone out there.
