FW: It's here

[Frederick, Steve]

The last of the 52cm, 650b Quickbeams is mine, all mine! The color really suits the name:

(don't worry, that's not where my seat will be when I ride it)

Steve "woohoo!" Frederick, East Lansing, MI

Congratulations! The QB is a great and versatile bike. Mine is about
to metamorphose into its 3rd incarnation.

Mine's about to complete its transition from stock to

shiftable 2-speed to

shiftable 3-speed (current) to

shiftable 15-speed with derailleurs front and rear and bar-end shifters.

I'll post photos if all goes well. (I'm still waiting for the wheel.)
For all intents and purposes it might be close to a canti-Hilsen when it's done.

p.s. I love the way it rides, but I really need some gears for the hill I live on.

Love the sidepulls! I am secretly hoping the SimpleOne will have that
setup later this year...

If I didn't have a brand new QB I'd be jealous. ;-) [Admittedly 52cm is way too small for me so I don't have any designs on yours.]

That's a sweet bike. I think you'll find it's a great riding bike. Enjoy!

Aloha. Bob

Updated pics added--pretty much set with the exception of bar tape, fenders and a nicer saddle bag. I want to take it for a test spin to check the brake lever position and such before I tape it up.

The point of the seat tube lug got bent somewhere on the way but I tapped it back into line with my trusty rubber mallet. That cracked the paint a little of course but I'll put a couple of coats of wax or some clear enamel over it and it'll be okay for a decade or so...

Thanks for the kind words--I've sort of intermittently wanted a QB for a long time and the sidepulls and 650b wheels pushed me over the edge!

Beautiful bike. It almost looks perfect with bare bars.

[RoadieRyan]

Very Sharp Steve. As has been stated the sidepulls look great.

Justin I noticed on the Renaissance cycles sites that they got (big
mouth) side pulls to work on a 56cm Sam http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/rivendell/hillborne/
so their maybe hope for your Simpleone dreams even if it comes as a
Canti
