The Riv folks have really nailed it with the QB/SO and I can't really think of other ways to improve it. It's a great bike with a solid geometry and it looks beautiful. I'm including a list of preferences (colors, brakes, name, brakes, rackability, hubs) that could very well guarantee that I'd pony up the cash to secure one. In no particular order, here are the things that would make the ideal for me:
Colors -- bright red, silver, dark silver, sage green, black, Homer blue.....cream HT and accents are an absolute must for the $1,200 price tag. Names -- would prefer it to be called a Quickbeam, but I'm not sure if that's possible anymore given legality issues...any other name is perfectly fine Brakes -- I'd really prefer caliper brakes, but cantis are fine as well. I'd never use a tire bigger than 35mm on this bike so calipers are fine Fenders -- Not a big deal to me because I wouldn't use them for this bike Racks -- It would be fantastic to have mid-fork braze-ons so I could attach a Mark's rack Hubs -- Would be great to get another run of the Suzue quick release hubs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
