The production run of Quickbeams seems to match the suggested size recommendations. My PBH is 88. Saddle height is approximately 78 cm. My Quickbeam is a 62cm frame. When I test rode the Qucikbeam at Rivendell in late 2004, Grant said I could ride a 60 or 62 cm Quickbeam - exactly as the table

No - I've seen no details. Just to get the conversation going I made a huge assumption that cost would be that of the blue lug single. That may be wildly off. On Monday, November 13, 2017 at 6:13:56 PM UTC-5, Clayton.sf wrote: > > Are we sure that the single speed is the blue lug single

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

What are your all thoughts on a crankset? My last bike had a 144mm BCD crankset, which made finding chainrings a bit hard but also a bit expensive. Sugino XD or similar? I had a TA Pro 5 Vis crankset but i stripped the threads on it so that's out.. -- You received this message because you are

As others mentioned, you lost $1000 in your addition, and chose the spendiest parts possible (except for brake cables). A "statement" bike like that is automatically going to be overvalued, because you're buying prestige. My Quickbeam is worth about $1500 to the right person, with the

There are some really spendy parts on that list there and you are missing other items.. freewheel? Dingle cog (if WI) will be $$$ The stem I'd get would cost me $50, the seatpost I'd get would cost me $50, the bars would cost me $50. Some of these parts I'd find used so chances are it'd be even

Singlespeeders, is your single worth $2,000 to you? Assuming whatever the 'classic single' is to be, the frame with headset and seatpost are included. Toying around with what a parts list would be, and cost, assuming buying all new. Here's what I came up with doing a very quick survey of

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

I was curious as to why a sports oriented design tends to end up with somewhat limited tire clearance (I appreciate the Rodeo offers far more clearance than mosrmt bikes in the same genre). I was under the impression that the Blue Lug and the Rodeo could use the same brakes that are typically

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

The Roadeo has 55mm brake clearance and does not take Tektro 559 brakes. The Roadeo takes Tektro 539 brakes. The Frank Jones Sr has 59mm brake clearance and that’s near the minimum for Tektro 559 brakes. The Hillborne has 65mm brake clearance and that is near the maximum for Tektro 559

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

I'm looking forward to this. I don't need another frame, but I sold my Vigorelli because it was limited to a 30mm tire at best. This is 2x the cost..curious on the geometry. Pbh of 83 so sounds like 53 would be the way to go..I'm guessing something like a 55 tt.. -- You received this message

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

A bigger tire also changes the ride. I had BG Rock’n’Roads on my Quickbeam for a while. I liked it, but when I went back to 38s the bike turned in a bit quicker and was a bit more sprightly. It felt like itself. The Singular with 38s turned in too fast, and settled down with 2” tires. I’m a

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

Good point, I didn't actually frame a question! In that case, why do models like the Rodeo and Blue Lug SS need to have more limited clearance than, say the Hillborne, considering they all can use the same model of long reach brakes? I would guess the answer lies in the many nuances of geometry

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

The fact they refer to a forthcoming brake, a new rev of Dia Compe 610, makes it sound like the frame was designed to work with that particular brake which imparts a clearance. On Friday, November 10, 2017 at 3:26:07 PM UTC-8, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Plus the bike is designed for a different
