I bought this new from Riv in 2010 It's from the last/final batch of Quickbeams they did. It's silver with blue trim, and - unique to that last batch - is a 52cm frame built around sidepull brakes and 650b wheels. It easily fits Hetres with fenders, and is a great riding bike. But I find that singlespeed/fixed riding just isn't much fun for me anymore. I've only ridden it once or twice a season the last few years, so I'm thinking I should let it pass to someone who would enjoy it more. I'd like to limit potential buyers to those willing and able to meet up within 100 miles or so of Lansing, Michigan for now-if nothing comes of it, I will consider shipping at some point. Or just keep it. We'll see.
It's not stock-the wheels, brakes, stem and headset are the only original parts I think. It has a White Industries Dos Enos 19/17 double freewheel on the rear wheels flip side and 16t fixed cog on the flop side. It has a Sugino 110mmBCD double crankset with (as I recall) 40/38-t rings mounted on an, as I recall, Sugino 103mm spindle bottom bracket. Tires are 1st gen, 38mm PariMotos with little wear, an indicator of how little I've ridden it lately. Silver, Zero set back post and Selle San Marco Regal saddle. Grey Shimano cable housing and metallic blue Fizik Microtex tape (over Fizik gel padding) are nice matches for the silver and blue frame. Bars are silver 44cm wide Soma HWY1, which feature a short reach and shallow drop. Brake levers are small-hands-specific Tektro Ergos. SKS 50mm wide fenders with quick release sockets front and rear. (having the QR in back makes it much easier to remove the rear wheel.) Also included, Crane bell, Zefal frame pump and an older but good condition black Acorn saddle bag. Pedals of various sorts are also available, if wanted. I'd like $1,100 but will consider offers. No trades desired. I think that's about it-it's very clean, never been crashed or dropped. Well, it's a little dusty, actually-when I do ride it, it is usually on mixed dirt/paved road rides. But there's scarcely a mark on it. It's also quite a rare bird-there aren't many out there.
