One data point to the contrary: Green SO with 3 sets of eyelets front and 3 rear. But it’s monochromatic - no cream HT, so maybe a repaint?.. - Max “if only the farmers market could open” in A2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

I’m in the bay area and would love to take ownership of a 56 quickbeam, or a 54. Did they all have eyelets on the front of the fork under the bake posts? Jason > On May 31, 2020, at 9:57 AM, ted wrote: > >  > Hang in there. They seem to go in spurts, so nothing now definitely doesn't >

Hang in there. They seem to go in spurts, so nothing now definitely doesn't mean never. I speculate that being hard to replace hinders folks inclination to decide to sell theirs. But when they see one offered, they think maybe I should sell mine too. On Sunday, May 31, 2020 at 9:36:06 AM

I'd recommend you choose a QB over a CC, given you had access to both and you knew you didn't want the option to add gears. But CC is not a terrible choice if that is what is available to you, but I wouldn't compare the two (I owned both as my primary 2 bikes for 5 or so years; still have the

My peg is 87 and I really like my 58 QB. I hope to ride it this weekend. I bet I would be slightly less happy on a 60, but disappointed on a 56. Matt B Oswego, IL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

When I was considering an SO (before I blew up my knee) Keven was recommending a 58. After I came back from the test ride on the 58 and Keven was making a coffee, Mark walked over to me and said “you should be on a 56.” They did not have a 56 for demo that day and then the single speed became

I have a 56 SO. Maybe consider the height of the tires you plan to use, currently I have 43 Compass Hurricane Ridge, fairly tall. I'm like 5'11" give or take, 84 pbh, I think a 58 would be too large for me, the 56 fits well, I guess a 58 could work, bit, it's nice having stand over space

I think "best" size is kinda dependent, though I'm not sure on what. I'm about 5' 9" with a 84 or 85 pbh. Before RBW did the SimpleOne, Kevin refused to sell me a sub 56 Quickbeam (they only had smaller frames left) saying that would be too small and that he might rather put me on a 58. When
