I took the decals off of my rivendell quickbeam. It didn't have the cream
head tube, so it was just a solid green bike, with only the head badge and
it didn't look that different from any other older bike out there.
Lots of people asked me how old it was assuming I had repainted an old
frame.
Hi Bill and Greg,
Thanks for your generous offers of a wheel to help me out. For some reason
I'm not able to reply to either of you via PM. I would like to get a wheel
from either of you perhaps one of you would be willing to PM directly.
thanks.

Hi,
I'm in a bit of a financial low point and I just found a giant crack in my
rear mountain bike rim. I suppose that I'm very lucky that it didn't fail
completely.
I use my bike to transport my daughter and I could feel that it was out of

For years I used a quickbeam with a rear child seat it worked well in the
smaller gear for most riding.
I alternated it between a trek 620 with gears, for more long distance rides.
When my daughter was younger we used a front mount seat on the trek, I used
a nitto dirt drop stem to get the

about switching to bosco bars..
so, I cut about an inch off of each end. otherwise they are great. Is
that a deal breaker?

Thanks for the responses. I've always felt like the albatross bars flex
very slightly and while it never bothered me, if I had a choice I would
eliminate it. But not by switching away from the albatross back to

So I've wondered about switching to alba aluminum. It would seem that
I’m curious if the aluminum version of the bosco is slightly stiffer
feeling than the cromoly bosco or if anyone has experience comparing the
aluminum alba to the chromoly albatross bars in terms or stiffness or other
factors.
I have the chromoly albatross bars and before that I had the

I have a Sturmey Archer S3X that I bought for my Rivendell Quickbeam. Its
