Hi Joe. Thank you for your comments and especially on the notion of rearward facing QR levers.
I have always been aware of the theories behind the advice /concept but as I am now in my 71st year and have been riding QR's since the early 60's on my 1937 Hetchins Vibrant (Curly) Track Frame (coverted to road drop-outs).
I have never had one get hooked and come loose never mind get hooked on anything or anybody else for that matter - the postion that I close them at is actually easier for my hands to get a more natural grip around them.

Nice bikes but you really need to have the front quick releases point to the rear and not to the front.
