Bummer.
Glad you're well enough to tell us about it though. I had a friend
that caught the edge of the door in his throat. Docs said that he came
"this close" to opening up his jugular.
Watch those doors ya'll.
Speedy recovery,

Bicycling. Commuter based content for the most part. Kind of a more

huge impression on me as, until your post, I'd forgotten it existed.

Sounds fun. I used to ride from my house in Canyon to the canyon a
couple of times a week. Back before they had bike trails in the park.
Sure hope I can get up there sometime soon with the Quickbeam.

I think you're right.
One thing for sure, Ladera Norte is one tough hill and the Tour das
Hugel is one tough ride. Regardless of the bike, the engine looks like
it's running strong!

Rivs seem kind of rare in Austin.
I know of two Rivendells in my neighborhood for sure. An Atlantis, and
a Saluki (I think). Maybe grad students or professors as I see them
between here and UT consistently. Serious looking commuters both.

Imho, Austin's a great city to be a cyclist. It's not an officially
great city with an officially great cyclling infrastructure though
that is getting incrementally better with some hope on the horizon,
but we do have tons of fine cycling in town and out.

Dirt is good. Love that mixed terrain.
Cool video, thanks for sharing.

I've had my Quickbeam about a year and I put 80 - 120 miles on it per
week. I wouldn't call myself a hammerer but with any single speed
riding there are times of great torque. Topping out on a 20% rise in
high gear, starting from a complete stop, dirt hills in any gear,
ect.
No slippage.

I'm interested in putting Mafac centerpulls on a 700c bike I'm having
built. Anyone know what kind of max. clearance I'll have with Racers?
Also, I'm wondering if Raids work on 700c?
I'm wanting to run 35mm w/ fenders and up to around 42mm without.
Thanks!

Hey Colin,
Man, I don't think I'd bother with 4 gears up in the flatlands. I ride
two (68 inches and 53 inches I think) down here in Austin and that's
plenty.
I've considered getting a dos for the hill country but kinda doubt I
will anytime soon. Just doesn't seem like I need to. Of course, the
I'd like to see the 64cm built also. The Bombadil looks like a solid
hitter. Somehow the double top tube looks cooler on this frame to my
eyes. Maybe because of the sloping tube.

Thanks for the input guys.
I was thinking 67cm but was told the design of the Hilsen puts the
handlebars at a lower place than the Quickbeam that I have and this
led into being referred to the 69cm. Yes, 67 would work, and this was
acknowledged by the Rivendellites, but all things being the same
Is anyone around here riding the 69cm A. Homer Hilsen?
I'm pondering the purchase of either the 67 or 69. With my 98cm PBH
the Rivendelites have suggested the larger of the two sizes so I'm
trying to get used to the idea of the double top tube. I think my
vanity's fighting with my common sense. I
I've got a single speed wheelset for sale that I put on Craigslist a
few hours ago but wanted to offer it up to the list also since it's
got 135mm rear spacing. Low mileage. I think I rode less than a couple
a hundred miles on these. They cost me right around $590 new.

Hey Colin,
I don't have much to add on replacement advice but I did grow up in
Canyon...
In high school and college I rode a lot on those windy roads up there.
Don't miss the wind a lot but I do have the yearning to take my
Quickbeam on that grid of endless dirt roads.
Actually I was in Amarill
Wow. Thanks Jim. I'm not ready financially yet but when I am I'll
contact you to see if the offer stands. Thanks again!

I run the same gearing as you Dan. 40x16 runs as a pretty good
compromise for my fitness level. I'm rarely forced to change to a
lower gear for climbs unless I want to. Puts the lower gear in the

The bike will be used for shorter daily rides along with centuries and
beyond. Not too worried about a lack of gears on the longer rides but
maybe the longer hilly rides. I also

Hello,
An introduction is in order as I lurk more than join in the
conversation here. My name is Clif Wright and I've had my Quickbeam
for about three months now. It's a fabulous ride and the first bike
I've owned in over twenty years that fits as it should. I live in
