Subject: [RBW] Re: PSA: 56cm Quickbeam on eBay

Doing a search on Cyclofiend, I find that the Silver QB was the last of run 
(2009) by Panasonic in Japan.  The SimpleOne was a Taiwan built.  I'm not sure 
if this could or should increase my enthusiasm.

Grant said this about the bikes:
-- Made in Taiwan by our Sam-maker. Hand-brazed. QB was Japan. Quality in this 
case is every bit as good, at least. 
-- Geometry is nearly identical. 
-- Same braze-ons plus a kickstand plate. 
-- Same tire/fender clearance (for 40mm with fender, or 44 without)

Methinks it´s purely a question of looks, no difference in enthusiasm required. 
The difference in name is as long as I understand just not wanting the name 
pass to another maker. You may ask "why not", but Riv takes great pleasure in 
new names and headbadges.
