Quickbeam and Hilsen combo here. When I go from QB to Hilsen, there's a subtle difference which I often ascribe to the shifty bits (and wheelset differences).
But then when I shift back to the QB (like this past weekend), it reminds me how much I really love the way that bike rides. They are set up quite similarly, but the QB always seems a bit more spritely for me. Maybe the Hilsen is an early Range Rover and the QB more like those early Ford Broncos? I'd trust either to get me home over any terrain. But, I'm going to drive 'em differently. I've ridden the Roadeo a few times when visiting RBWHQ&L and would say that I get much the same feeling on that model - more QB like - even though it's never been set up exactly the way I would have it if I owned one. - Jim On Monday, April 16, 2018 at 6:49:40 PM UTC-7, John G. wrote: > > Hi, > > I’ve been really enjoying my new-to-me Quickbeam.
