Thanks. I promise to post shots of it here when complete, though I may

That was my bid ! ! ! :-))
Now to build it up. I'll probably go pretty close to the current specs
for a new Quickbeam. I like the idea of the Sugino double up front
(actually a triple with the outer ring replaced with a guard), though
I'm not fond of a high Q factor. My current ride has a TA

With Riv selling a 65cm QB frame and fork for $1100, the one at the
start of this string sounds like a steal at $699.

sympathize, as I tend to be just outside the stock frame range as

Consider the price point of the complete bike, which used to be $1400

Well, maybe not, but I've been searching eBay (and craigslist, and this
list) for a long time for another large frame, and so far I've found only
low-end bike-boomers, and I already have one of those. I get pretty excited
when I find something worth serious attention. Maybe I should just

I wouldn't necessarily consider it over priced. Kind of depends on the
buyer. If you have the money and want a quickbeam I'd say go for it.
Not like they're making more 68's. I've got a 68cm quickbeam and am a
huge fan. Definitely nimble with 32's and stripped down. I hop it over

I ride a 68 Redwood and I know how hard it is to find tall bikes or frames
and how near impossible it is to find a used tall Rivendell frame. Now that
exhausts my knowledge except this: I email the guy selling the 68 on ebay.
Here is the cut and paste of his response to me:

As always, a lot of great and useful info from RBW. Thanks, everybody.
After careful consideration, I am. *not* buying the $699 QB frame. I
know its size commands a premium, and so the price probably isn't too high.
But I really can't use a single speed bike on longish rides (which are my
