I agree that we probably won't be seeing a new QB iteration soon (excluding the Blue Lug project). It would be cool to see a Quickbeam/Simpleone mixte-- maybe the QuickMix? I do wonder if you could invert the QB's angled dropout so you could use it as a derailer bike or single speed without

I vaugly recall mention of working on a drop out for bikelug. When I saw that I did not take it to imply another iteration of the QB/SO was in the offing. For a long time there was a sticky thread at the top of this list regarding RBWs conditions for doing another run of SOs. It didn't seem very

Chris this sounds familiar. I also made an offer with no response. After a message he did offer to meet in the middle regarding price so I think I came away pretty good considering the "near new" description and less than 50 miles. I guess we will see when it arrives Thursday. -- You

I recently bought a 2004 green Quickbeam off of eBay and can't help but to think that this seller used my purchase as a benchmark for his asking price which happens to be to the dollar what I paid for it. I had sent in an offer for a small discount off and the seller ignored my offer so I bit

I like mine a lot, but I doubt RBW will do another edition. The way I remember it they were discounted out les than a year after starting to accept pre orders. I can only presume that after a brief flurry of immediate sales they just didn't sell. Great bikes but apparently a small niche market

Ive always thought the next iteration should be "The QuickOne". Maybe the "SingleBeam". I recall the SimpleOne was cleared out toward the end and it was modestly priced then. A fellow had one in town here and it was a great deep green colour. He said it was a great bike. Ian A/Canada. --

The name disappeared because of some legal bother with Tolkein folks. This is also why RBW will build you a Leh Go Less, but doesn't use (name redacted) on the website. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

The Silver was the final run of Quickbeams. I remember because there was some discussion about the Q on the seat tube decal being a little odd and maybe slightly less refined than other Rivendell graphics. I think the silver was the only color that had that specific decal. I believe the

Thanks Chris. I've got a few ideas. I looked up your beam on Flickr and I like the upright bars more and more. I just ordered a new Appaloosa too, couldn't resist. Going to be a good summer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"
