Hey Folks- My Quickbeam is up for sale. It's an amazing bike that I've been lucky to own, but I just got a Clem that I'm super happy with and I've been riding it and my other (many geared) bikes more.
Many around here probably know the story, but this is an orange frame from the second batch (circa 2006). I acquired it from Riv in 2011, when they were closing out the SimpleOnes. I was thinking a 62cm SimpleOne would work, but Vince didn't think it would be big enough for me, so he disappeared into the backroom and came back with this beauty. I was sold on the spot. I guess it had been a frame that had been sold and then returned without having been built up, and had been sitting in storage until I came along. The frame is functionally perfect but does show some beausage as befits a bike that was ridden for everyday transportation for a few years. The decals on the downtube have some wear from the frame being locked, and there's an area on the top tube were the paint was wore through to the primer after rubbing against a concrete bollard. No dents or dings, and no rust that I can see. The only decal I added was a build sticker from the bike shop where I used to work, Blue Heron Bikes in Berkeley (now a stocking Riv dealer!) on the upper part of the seat tube. The complete build is: -64cm QB frame and fork -Chris King headset, sans logos -Nitto Bosco Bullmoose handlebars (fillet brazed), 58cm -Nitto S84 (lugged) seatpost -Brooks B17 Standard, black -170mm Sugino GT cranks w/ 40t Sugino ring, Shimano UN54 BB -Silver Surly Ultra New track hubs, rear is fixed/free, laced with 32 double butted spokes to H+Son TB14 silver rims. These are cool because the allow the use of axle bolts (female axle) or quick releases without swapping any parts; the rear currently sports a proper enclosed cam 120mm QR skewer to allow for quick gear changes, just like the original QB wheels. I'll also include the axle bolts. -Specialized "Fatboy Sport" 700x45 skinwall tires, measure ~40mm on these rims. You could probably still even get a fender in there! -Rear hub currently has a 17/19t Surly Dingle Cog with All-City lockring on the fixed side and an 18t ACS Crossfire freewheel on the free side. -SRAM PC-830 chain. -Tektro CR720 cantilever brakes (silver), Paul Canti levers (silver levers, black clamp) -Oury Grips -Pedals are currently some big Diamondback BMX flat pedals with reflectors; they feel great but the bearings are a little bit crunchy. Your favorite pedals here. If you want some used MKS Touring Lites or Time ATACs, I could swap those in. Pictures of all of my various setups on this bike are here; the most recent ones at the bottom are pretty much as I am selling it: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjCb7qtE Note: in the most recent pictures it has Origin8 brake levers, but I will be swapping in the Pauls before I ship it. I'd like to get $1500 for it. I'm located in Sacramento, CA, so easy local pickup for anyone in the SF Bay Area or greater NorCal. I'd be happy to ship it as well. Let me know if you have any questions or want a specific picture of something. Thanks, Jeremy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
