The flat tabs ("Frenchie tabs"? hmmm h'ain't heard that one before)
were on the orange model for sure - you can see them on mine -

I agree with this sentiment. My 58cm QB is my “core” bike. Hills, long rides, errands — it does most of what I want from a bike and does it very well. Keeping this one is a good idea…Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 27, 2023, at 11:27 AM, Benjamin L. Kelley wrote:Honestly, if I was somehow forced to

It's a pretty great do about everything except race or full on mtb frame.
Jason, glad you decided to keep it. It's also a great build.

I think you made the right decision, at least for now. From what I'm seeing
of my particular bikes of interest in FS sections NOTHING is selling right
now. I assume the price of gas and eggs has hit everybody pretty hard, plus
ebikes have fully invaded the used bike market. It's tough sledding
As a humble newb who'd looked enviously at the Frenchie tabs, I think
you've made the right decision ;)

And as it is Friday and I took an awesome joyride around the new area, I am
calling it quits on calling it quits for this bike. I can say it is now
sold, as you all sold me on keeping it. My plan is to keep riding it more

Indeed, super clean, it was a gem when I picked it up from you Dylan! I
just took a small rip on it and it just glides. While I think the Rene
Herse crank looks brilliant, the 48t is just too stout to have much fun for
me now. I'm kicking myself for getting rid of the 40/32 crank and the
For what it's worth - this is my old frame and it's SUPER clean. Jason did
a great job in updating it since I sold it to him.

Thanks, Jason. I looked them up on the Wolf Tooth site and as far as I can
tell they are made only for mountain bike bars; are yours a road bike bar
model, or did you just force them on to the bigger bar?
About that Quickbeam: I know from experience that you can list and relist a
very nice bike
Patrick, they are wolf tooth's silicone grips, I believe the Karv maybe
fatpaw. I recently switched all my mtbs over to them and they are lovely.
Its a nice touch when you're feeling fatigued and can drop down into a
cozy bed for yer hands. I highly recommend them.
And yep, the bike market
All this for $1750?? The "Quickbeam financial index" must truly have
bottomed out. That's a nice build. I recall when a nicely built QB would
command much more.
Question: What are those grips or padding at the ends of the drops?

thanks for the catch Billiam, its been on and off so I forgot to check the
sweet deets, for your consideration:
A quick beam is a single speed bike that you might want to consider making
into a multiple geared single speed with a dos freewheel and double up
front, sorry no hangers like these
That's dynamite. Frenchie tabs are super trick. The modern barrel ones
are probably more versatile and stronger, but the Frenchie tabs look so
minimalist and cool.

Hello Bill,
FWIW, my orange QB has the same "frenchie mid fork tabs". The work fine and
they seem to be original to the bike.

Your OP claimed that all the details were on the Crust site. That listing
has been deleted, and the one that is now "active" doesn't have an explicit

there's a headlamp, and others not. Your buyer may want an
