I procrastinated a bit then decided to part with the Surly which I can always replace and which I would have bought bigger if I had to do it over. Lots of love on the list for QBs so I've been intrigued and know I won't be upside down in it if I don't like it. It'll immediately get a CC build

The Rivendell Quickbeam was originally announced in Summer 2002 as a Joe / Curt built frameset which would help keep some volume going through. It changed into a Panasonic-built production bicycle before becoming available to order in January 2004. The first two runs were the Coleman Green

The original parts package on the QB was the standard Riv built list: Nitto Noodle bars, Technomic stem, and Crystal Fellow seatpost. The unique parts were the wheels: a special Suzue hubset based on their Promax track hubs, but quick-release rather than bolt on and with singlespeed freewheel
