Thanks Jim. I did some quick searches but didn't turn these up. My green Quickbeam is one of my favorite bikes. I ride it nearly every day and it is showing the scars after 5 years of commuting and training. I am really thinking about a second one to use as a randonneuring bike. I have learned that if you train and randonneur on the same bike you are constantly doing maintenance work and running a hight risk of mechanical failure during an event. I also have found that a 62cm fits me better and I upgraded my Rambo from 60 to 62cm and would do the same for the QB.
We will have to wait and see what happens. I can't see them dropping this bike from the line up it seems to be too popular. Thanks again.
