Vince is the master of the Attic, eh? I got to lay my hands on that frame,
and was quite tempted by it, until I found a used 66cm Orange Quickbeam,
which is a perfect fit for me. You'll be fine on the 64, don't worry at all.
And yes, Orange is definitely the fastest colour.

I'll bet Grant is laughing his arse off. He built a frame with no braze-ons
which fits old 5-speed wheels. Just like all road bikes used to be!

Congratulations! That is just the best. The Quickbeam orange is a
great color. You've always been in the club, but the bikes sure are
nice.
I think the "magic attic" must have things up there waiting for just
the right person. I really like the 'layaway' plan, too. I bought my
first bike on layaway
Jeremy,
Good on ya!
I choose to believe the bike came from the 'Santa Claus' attic, this being
the season and all.

I suggest a hybrid of your routing and old, 3-speed cabling as shown here:

You'll need a cable stop for the top tube, a pulley for the seat tube, and a
cable stop for the seatstay. All are available at Harris
Wonder if they need any help cleaning out that attic? If that big,

Congrats, Jeremy, on your new Quickbeam frame! My wife owns one along with

available options, and then took the effort of going through their
inventory in the attic to get the QB for you. The Riv guys are the best,

Great find, Jeremy! The QB is definitely one of my favorite bikes.
Maybe we can have an Entmoot in the spring when you get it.

Congratulations on your find. I was there on Saturday as well picking up a
