Hey all, it's time. I was debating this sale for a while. Then a friend had a knee injury and was told he needed to give up riding single speeds. So he's keeping one of his bikes and giving me the other. Not a Riv, but a good bike, so my Quickbeam is now available.

Pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/88267393@N02/8068020010/in/photostream

62cm Quickbeam
Paul brakes F&R
36h Phil Wood hubs F&R
           -Front hub has no Phil decal on it, but original owner assured me it was Phil. Looks like it. Slight wear showing, please see pictures. Still rides well, although I mainly used a different Dynamo wheel when I rode this.
           -Rear is free/fixed with 16 tooth freewheel/cog installed on either side, respectively.
Sun rims
700x35 Schwalbe delta cruisers in cream, about 1,000 miles
American Classic seatpost
Nitto bars & stem
Sugino 40/32 crankset in 175mm
Shimano aero levers & Tektro (?) interrupters
Bar tape is pretty beat up but functional--will include a new white package that I never got around to installing
Small container of touch-up paint included as well, which I've never used

-Saddle, pedals and saddlebag not included.

I bought this a few years back from the original owner in Sebastopol. I don't think he rode it much. I commuted on this for a year or so, about 1,200 miles, and it rode great. Front brake cable hanger is kept pretty loose (the nuts) otherwise I get some brake shudder. But as is it is setup, shudder is pretty minimal/nonexistent.

Would like to sell local (SF Bay Area, specifically Mill Valley), but will ship if need be for actual cost. LBS (Tam Bikes in Mill Valley) will do packaging if that's necessary.

Asking $1,300. You can see condition in the photos--paint is still pretty good, except for a few areas (dropouts, under chainstay). Email me offlist please. Thanks!

I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. Too big for me, but this is a great price!

Trust me, I've got my eye on it! But dare no't spend any money right now in case Prop 30 doesn't pass in CA!

Bad things happen in that scenario... :-(
