I was going to go with a QB-55 a while back, but Boulder Bicycle had a screaming deal on the QB-95, so I splurged on one of those instead - and wow, what a nice looking BB!

I'm glad to hear that they are holding up well for you.

It's a Freak'n recreational level hybrid. Run things until they die and replace with comparable or step or 2 better level part.
