Patience History
Patience was built in North Perth, Western Australia by Aldo Contarino (Quantum Bicycle Manufacturers) and was completed on December 16th 2005. The building process took slightly longer than I and Aldo planned, thus the name, but the result is a very special bike.
Patience has front & rear suspension (Custom designed by Aldo) and has a Rolhoff 14-speed hub, rear disk brakes, hub front brakes
