Thank you all for the information. Looks like I have a plain old QB in all
it radiant glory! I will be listing it For Sale soon. Adam

Mine also has a sticker S/N.If the QB fits you well and has been
otherwise comfortable up to this point, I'd look into a SA internal gear
hub like a fixed 3-speed, which you can just use with a freewheel. good
luck with it either way.

My green QB had a stick on SN. It was from the first batch I believe.
I think QBs hold their value the best of any of the Rivendell frames due to
their low numbers, uniqueness and continued desirability. There is
currently no similar Rivendell frame, so you can't get the updated, tweaked
model
And I dare say the cantilevered Romulus. Although that one came by accident.
Somewhat similar to the Legolas, but with a slightly lower BB.

The Legolas is still available off-book because of trademark issues with
the Tolkein title.

True, but the Legolas still seems to have some uniqueness to it. Maybe the
off-menu ordering adds to the mystique!

I agree with Minh in a general way, but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss
the collectable quality of the better Rivendell stock models; after all,
look at what happens to RB-1s and XOs.
The absolutely first criterion for Riv bike quality is the handling, and
IME, having owned 5 -- tho' not a QB
To be fair, used QB prices are about what people paid new. $1100 to $1700
recently, for a $1400-new bicycle but I only pay attention to ones about my
size.

Back around 2007 or so, there was a unique one-off which showed up (I saw
it down at the NAHBS, IIRC.) It had horizontal rear fork ends, and was not
a fully lugged model.
(OK... I just spent the last 30 minutes trolling through my albums and
those which were still accessible... all to
my QB only has a sticker for a SN.
IMHO, a QB (or a Rivendell in general) is not a Herse, and a QB was always
meant as an affordable bike so i don't see this as collectible. Just my
opinion, i'd price this like all the other QBs that have floated through
the list and not worry too much
