I have three pairs of QP:s. The Hardcourts are from 2016 and well used. The Urbanite lows are from 2017, and the Urbanite highs are almost new. No problems as of yet (knocks on wood).
I'd say that they are decent enough as cycling shoes, but good as walking shoes due to relatively flexible soles and recessed cleats. Use them in work also, I guess that only a few people notice that I wear cycling shoes in customer service :D
Too bad that size 10,5 Hardcourt mids are be sold out at QP's webshop, would probably have bought another pair for the future.

My new Canyon Endurace:
≈34 mm tyres fit fine: there is >3 mm clearance to chainstays and >4 mm clearance to fork.

My girlfriend's Commando:

Hmmm....if I remember correctly the 2009 fork came with a brake hole when I bought a frameset from probikekit uk.

Well, my only woe with too short steerer tube is that I have to use a stem with positive rise - as I'm well over 40 and not as flexible as I used to be -and it looks aesthetically wrong to me. Then again, the aesthetics do not affect riding and my Vigorelli does not win any beauty contests anyway :D

Back in the days slammed the stem all the way down!
Eight years later the steerer tube is still too short:

The fork will accept even bigger tire: a 37 mm WTB Riddler (which is a true 37 mm tire, but it has a shallow profile) just fits, but with insufficient mud clearance.
The rear will probably max out at 35 mm, as the same tire would not fit between chainstays. -
Nice!
...had to buy a frameset to my gf. The bike will be a budget Fat- (or maybe 26++) with Trialtech 47 mm rims and 4" tyres.

Normal stem + Specialized hover bar = moderate saddle to bar drop?
