this is why I have been asking about different handlebar set ups, as I wa stinking road handlebars might be kind of cool on a Quest. So what road gearing are you running?
It was noted on another thread that a Quest owner wished the handlebars could be positioned so as to get more pull. I think Nanda has the right idea with the road handlebars on this bike. I stay in the drops on my Silvio all the time, and there is a huge advantage with getting good solid pull.
