The 120mm spacing is the key to retrofitting a Quickbeam, or any other "track" bike. My Ross would be the best candidate, since it has cable stops, and I have a derailleur claw adapter.
Problem Solvers has clamp-on DT shifter mounts, zip-tie cable guides, and a chain tensioner than can be used as a derailleur hanger. The QB would need cablestops fabricated, I think. Definitely post any Quickbeam hacks!
