I think I've seen three, possibly four Rivs in the wild in 20+ years on the Westside (I'm 90% certain an orange blur blocks away was a Quickbeam).
One was only two weeks ago. Late '90s/early '00s custom-color-blue roadie, 50 feet from the same intersection I saw an orange Rambouillet stuffed in the back seat of a car outside my office at least 10 years ago. Plus a green Quickbeam 10 blocks from there. No offense if you post here, but that guy looked to be about 97 years old at the time, positively crushing approx. 48/16 up the only hill in the area. Props. And yet there are at least four XO-1s including mine within a two mile radius. Guy I bought my Miyata from just down the street has a purple '92 in his living room. Plus the same black RB-T I've seen locked up down by the beach every couple of years since it was basically new. Bikes around here follow three basic divisions: Sub-$100 sketchy suspension Magna, brand new Linus or Public townie with fake leather grips, and $10K+ full carbon Colnago (or Ritte if they're a local). Anyway, buy that Quickbeam on CL already, it's embarrassing. If it's still there in a week, I'll buy it for my mom, and she'll ride it twice before hanging it from hooks.
