That's a fine looking frame. . . lucky for me it's just a tad too small

First generation green version with cantilever brakes. I'm 6'3", around a 93cm pbh and this is too small for me. It's been ridden, has small nicks, nothing concerning but should be mentioned.

Hello,
 A friend of mine is looking for a '60 beam.  What is your asking price?  Are you willing to ship?  He is in the 24201 area code.

Best,
Clyde Canter

No worries on sending out to all.
Personally when I see a for sale ad without a price I ignore it.  Its more of a plea to run up offers and take the highest one.
If a price is listed I'll consider it too.

Gosh... just my size...  if a price were listed, I might have been been interested.
 
Pity.

I realized that I'd forgotten to include a price. I added a post yesterday including the price of $700 plus shipping if applicable, but since I'm new to the group it takes a bit to post.
Thanks,
David

Thats a deal folks for a limited edition versatile, robust, unique bike. I am fully enjoying my 60cm Quickbeam for commutes and tootles in the valley. I wish I had paid only $700 for mine. I recommend a Nitto M-12 and basket up front.

Any idea what the stand over is on the built up 60cm QB?

Sorry about the price issue. I completely flaked on that aspect. Not trying to run up bids or anything at all. Looking for $700 plus shipping if necessary. I'm located in Chicago. If I'm way off on the price, feel free to guide me in the right direction.

Estimated standover height is listed along with other measurements at Cyclofiend's site:

For 60cm frame, it's estimated at 84.9cm

I've had Big Apple 50s on my QB, and now I run Marathon Supreme 40s. Both handle fine. I switched because the BA's, albeit incredibly comfortable, were slower than I wanted. The MS 40s are a great fit for the QB and quick enough for my purposes.

Dear group,

Any ideas how Quickbeam handles with wide tires, say 37mm & up?

I have been toying with the idea of a 2-speed commuter (with a double crank & single cog, like featured in Rivendelll Reader) with wide 650b tires.  And then came David`s Quickbeam :)

Thanks!

My 60cm with a 36mm Kenda Kwick on the back and a 41mm Schwalbe Marathon on the front measures 85.4 standover at the center of the tube. 
Fender note: the 41mm tire buzzes under a 52mm V-O Zeppelin fender. 38s fit fine.

I love the way the QB handles with big tires. They change the gearing and slow down acceleration compared to a 28mm tire, but it's a fantastic bike offroad, on gravel and just around town with fatties.
