March came in with a roar here in Chicago with the delivery of a new-to-me Quickbeam! (Thanks Mike!) Had time enough to get it in the stand and throw on a few bits. Love it!

Congratulations, Marty.  Good photos to be proud of for a long time.  I know you will love it.  The Albatross bars will be great for single speed or fixed.  Nice packing job by Mike, too.  Enjoy.

Sweet - what size is that? A 66cm? Perfect for Chicago! And I like your simple bike stand, I've been hankering to put together something similar, with basic black pipe and a cam-lock on a swivel plate.

Beauty!
I think "On vehicle for delivery" are the sweetest four words in the English language.
I'm loving my new-to-me alba bar Quickbeam too...

It's a 64cm Andrew. The stand is an old Park I've had for many years. Bolted to a thick piece of plywood. I use another Park gizmo in place of the seatpost so as not to use the clamp on the seat tube. This will be an "All Paul" build - hubs, brakes, levers, seatpost, crankset and of course his new bottle opener. Came equipped with a nice King headset. It's MUSA Madness!  Many more pics to come.

Excellent Marty!

The QB is such a fine and invigorating ride. Always nice to see one get
unlimbered and ready!
