setting-up the Atlantis as a better go-fast or finding some other means to fund the purchase of a (perhaps less expensive) go-fast bike. Out of curiosity (no one answered this part of the question) what do you all think a complete, used Quickbeam might go for? Thanks! Shaun Meehan

I think this is the same frame that was previously discussed here and was listed on eBay for $699. I think the owner said that he hung a rear derailler using some sort of clip that's commercially available. Much better deal at $499! Shaun Meehan
