After a bit of soul-searching (and moving to a smaller apartment), I've decided that it's time for my 60cm Quickbeam to find a new home where it will get ridden more. It's one of the original green ones, purchased in August 2004. It has...almost no original parts. :-)
-Chris King headset (silver, obviously) -Phil Wood flip-flop fixed/free rear wheel, hand built, Mavic Open Pro rim, 32h -Original Suzue(?) front hub, hand built into a wheel with a Mavic CXP-33 rim, 32h -Nitto Dirt Drop stem -Nitto Mustache handlebars -Panaracer T-Serv Messenger tires, 700x35 (incidentally, I can't recommend these tires enough, in any size, for any bike that isn't a dedicated mountain bike or gravel racer) -Original Sugino 110x74 triple crank -Brass-looking bell The bike is currently set up as a fixed gear, so it only has a front brake/brake lever (Shimano BR-550, and Tiagra lever). Gearing is 48x18 (Surly stainless chainring, EAI cog, Phil Wood locking), which may not be your cup of tea. I have some smaller chainrings (a new 34 and a moderately used 42), as well as an outer pant guard ring (smooth, no teeth, not sure what to call it) that will cover up to a 48 (as I recall). So I'd throw those in for you, if you want them. I'm not including a seat post or seat, because, well, I need to be able to ride my other bike. :-) The pedals and the Pitlock skewer you see in the pictures are also not included. The Pitlock will be replaced with a nice XT quick release. There's a set of Planet Bike fenders that I'm happy to include as well. Normal wear and tear for a well-loved bike of its age. The one important paint issue is the drive-side dropout that got scored by my chain several years ago. I sent Grant a picture, and he told me it was nothing to worry about from a frame integrity standpoint, and it's not easy to see at all unless you get down to stare at the dropout, but I wanted to let you know about it. I'm 5'8", 30" inseam, not particularly long in the arms. The bike as set up now is upright-ish, but not cruiser-bars-sit-up-straight. Pictures here: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjDg9tJF (sorry they're not artfully posed - we just had snow here, and it's bloody cold outside). I'd like to sell for $750 (which doesn't include packing and shipping by REI, if that should be required). Let me know any questions, and thanks for looking/reading! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
