Hey gang, Thanks all for the comments and kind words. I was out on an S24O (more on that latter!) so just getting back to the list. Anyway to answer some questions that came up: > Great job, Robert! The Quickbeam is an oddly addictive bicycle. What > gear(s) are you running? > > Bryan
Thanks Bryan - It's 48/38 chainrings and a 21 freewheel on the rear. I went a bit big on gearing as it's hilly in these parts and I figure I'd rather coast down hills than walk up them! So far this has worked out - I've tackled some reasonable, if not truly epic hills and so far haven't had to walk up. > WETH <erlhous...@gmail.com> Apr 24 10:39AM -0700 > > Wow, that is a beautiful restoration!

Is that accurate when looking at the bike in person? I > ask because I am considering powder coating a lugged frame. Hey thanks much, can't be happier with the color scheme. The powdercoating didn't obscure the lugs at all. When I researched this I read a few people mention they told the 'coaters to do it lightly and such to preserve it. So I brought it up with the fine folks at Forever Powdercoating and they said it wasn't an issue. They'd done plenty of bikes and I have to say it looks pretty much just how the frame did with the original paint. So I can endorse the powdercoating but no reason not to check with the 'coater about the thickness. cheers, Robert -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
