It's about as different as can be I'd say. The QB is more of an all 'round,
trail capable bike. Room for bigger tires, laid back geometry and the like.
The RB-1 is a road race machine. (certainly room for both in your stable if
you like a bit of variety)

After reading several bicycle forums, considering the many

Hi, William, and thanks!
I'm not into parting a bike out; we live in a small apartment and I
don't have the room to keep things that don't sell quickly.
With the pedals and saddle--and tax--the bike sold for approximately
$1800; hopefully, we can sell it for $1300... sound reasonable?

That's too bad. Glad it wasn't worse though. Accidents like this are a
function of geometry, body position, speed, stopping force and a bunch
of other math. It is not a function of material, however.
