I did hear of the sale, but didn't pay much attention to it since I don't

look very promising. Anyway, QBs come u
Seriously? You were not aware of the Big Sale? "DISC" means discontinued,
and the lower price is the closeout price on the Simple One.
My own QuickBeam, with Nitto mini-rack up front, steers "slower" with a
six-pack of Drake's IPA and two bottles of Ravenswood Zinfandel, but I
don't mind, it's sti

SO has been discontinued... they just don't sell as well; a Hillborne can
be set up similarly, so they can use them that wa

You have my respect. No way would I have the ability to sleep in a tent after
riding that distance. You are truly hard core.

I rode Patrick's former Motobecane down the California coast from San Francisco

I rode PBP using a 72-inch gear, although in retrospect I would have geared a
little higher.
Riding from CA to Kansas in 2006, I rode the first week in 72 inches (over the

Eric did P-B-P on a Quickbeam and rode across the US, west to east, on a
