Hope to have another migrating soon. I have a bike shop lined up that is going
to inspect it and then pack / ship if it is as the seller represented. Found
the Omnium Bike Shop in Saint Paul, they are very accommodating.

It's a first generation (green) Quickbeam. Maybe with original tires??? I
think $1200 is within reason, especially if they will work with you on
shipping, paypal, etc. That was the original price IIRC, so they do hold
their value. 58 & 60 are probably the most desirable sizes as well. What

If it's green, it's a 2004. I don't think there was a second run of
greenies. I much prefer the look of no mid-fork bosses, since the Nitto M12
is the ideal rack for the QB - it attaches to the cantilever bosses for a
clean, lightweight look. This bike has included fenders, pump, the stock

There are few of us in Minneapolis/Greater Twin Cities. Depending on where
the seller is and your timeframe, one of us might be able to go have a
look-see (and get a vicarious thrill). I'm not sure what bike I would go
to for packing; maybe Calhoun Cycle in Uptown? Dan A., do you have

the age of the frame does not matter that much. some of the earlier ones
do not have the braze-ons the fork for a front rack (you have to use
clamps). but i would be more worried about condition, if it's in good

WOW, thanks for all the great feedback. It definitely sounds like a must

purchased it from a collector in Colorado but doesn't know what year it is.

Agreed on all the above. The quickbeam is the one bike I'd have a hard time
parting with and I imagine will be in the stable for a long time. I had it
setup as a road bike for a short bit, but now is handling commuting and kid
carrying duties (with a yepp mini).

I agree with David - easily my favorite Riv, not only because of the fun of
ss, but it just rides lively, solid, and fun like when you're a kid. Can't
explain it, but jump on a QB for sure.
