I echo Mojo's opinion from riding my QB and Legolas. QB is an extremely comfortable bike, handles well, and is stout enough for a load. Leg' is a race bike, and what I find to be nimble handling, other riders occasionally call too active. I wouldn't put too much of a load on a Legolas. I've

Quickbeam Hunqabeam here, so not what you’re asking about, but I’ve been fascinated by similarities and differences as I ride Shadowfax (my Hunqabeam) after riding the Quickbeam exclusively for six months. Much as Jim does, I ascribed many of the differences between the then Hunqapillar and QB

Quickbeam and Hilsen combo here. When I go from QB to Hilsen, there's a subtle difference which I often ascribe to the shifty bits (and wheelset differences). But then when I shift back to the QB (like this past weekend), it reminds me how much I really love the way that bike rides. They are

Thank you, Joe! Maybe it’s because an Atlantis is my reference point, but I always felt the QB was pretty lively. Great to know that the Legolas is even sportier. Outstanding Legolas, btw. Roadeo owners: any comments? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

John, I have a Quickbeam and Legolas and they are very different bikes. The Q is fun as you describe, but it behaves like the touring bike it is. The tubing is stout and feels it. Visually the lugs are understated and the paint is tough and relatively thick. The Legolas on the other hand is
