Selling my QB, as it doesn’t get ridden much these days owing to knee
issues. It’s currently set up with a Dirt Drop stem and Albatross bars, but
I can swap those for Nitto drops and Shimano 600 levers. Pedals are old
dual sided SPD/clip compatible. Saddle is a B17 in very good shape.
Condition
It measures 60cm c-t-t, and I believe Riv called it a 60.

I’ve found that adding a small dab of white lithium grease or something
like Parks grease to all points of metal-to-metal contact generally takes
care of this. The most critical area appears to be the nose. Loosen the
adjusting screw, apply there, and re-snug.

Can anyone suggest a Krylon (or other paint) color that is a close match to
the original Quickbeam green? I’m doing a complete teardown and tuneup
before I decide whether to keep it, sell it, or part it out.

There’ll be pictures of the whole process, no question.To answer your
question, I still have all of them. The Quickbeam is currently stripped
down while I decide whether to repaint it. It’s probably going to be sold,
as my knees like having low gears available at the shift of a lever.i

I’ve been doing all my bike building for 40+ years. I taught myself a fair
bit from books, but learned more hanging out in a friend’s bike shop.
There’s a lot that’s not intuitive, but we have the advantage of YouTube

I just received an email from Rivendell telling me that my Platy has been

my fourth Riv since 1999.) One of the newsletters said that they expected
to receive their container “around Halloween” so I would guess this is one
I’ve been loving the 700x50 Big Bens I put on my rebuilt Atlantis a few
months ago, replacing the 700x42 Panaracer Paselas I’ve ridden for decades.
They feel fast and have a reputation for being pretty flat resistant. Now
I’m looking for tires for my Clem, and the 700x55 Green Marathons look lik
Great piece. Although now I’m afraid that hundreds of Brooklyn hipsters are
going to grab all the bike preorders before I get my next Riv… 😉

As a 70 year old with a 25 year old Atlantis and a recent Clem with a
Platypus on order… I like the way you think.
I’m keeping my Atlantis. A lot of great memories in that bike.

I’ve been running a Deore XT on a 38-24 on my Atlantis since 1999. No
issues yet. 😉

I’ll add a couple of observations: If a bike is worth locking, it’s worth
locking properly. Campuses are right up there with New York City as one of
the highest risks places to lock a bike, and I wouldn’t use anything less
than a Kryptonite lock with a hardened chain and a disc detainer type
