Congrats! It is so great to have a bike that feels so good to ride, and so pretty to look at! 

[Ryan Fleming]

Pudge...I know I've complimented you on that burgundy colour, or maroon , or whatever it is called. What is that colour , exactly? I just love it!

 

If you are not offended that is one of the colours I'm contemplating for my Rivendell mixte which I'm going to order as soon as I do the requisite measurements.

 

Thanks...your bikes are gorgeous and your builds are very artful as well.

I’m not sure – I bought the frame on special from Riv.  They called it red, which isn’t really accurate.  Or if it’s accurate, it would have to be a VERY deep red.  I’d describe it as maroon.  It’s a good color for a QB – very understated, and I like the cream headtube as a contrast.

 

Of course I’m not offended – have at it!  I think there’s an old Riv mixte in roughly that color somewhere on Flickr, if I remember rightly.

 

And thanks for the kind words!

[Eunice Chang]

I completely agree re: QB. They are magic. And inspire stories, which I really should write down one day.

The unexplainable magic of the Quickbeam. I love mine too.

[Deacon Patrick]

Aye.

[Richard Rios]

Not exactly a Quickbeam but I 💖 my Simpleone to! Might just be my favorite Riv to ride. Can't quite explain it but despite its lack of gears it just goes...

[BSWP]

Where is this year's non-virtual Entmoot? We could all pile onto Amtrak, take it to Sacramento...

[Jeremy Till]

Sacramento is perfect Quickbeam country!  We should have an Entmoot up here.  There are at least two of us here, although I need to get mine up and running again...been collecting parts for a re-boot of mine (re-beam?).

+1 for the S1...

[Esteban]

+1 QB love. I'm saving up for a new front wheel - maybe Schmidt. 

Entmoot = fun fun fun if I could make it, I'd go if it was in California.

Is that a custom stem? It's much nicer, IMO, than 16" quills!

I love my QB so much, that I would buy a second one if I had the money. I would set up my current 60cm as the round town commuter utility bike, with fenders, dyno hub, lights, rear rack, front basket and upright bars. The new one would be a 62cm set up with drop bars for weekend and evening rides. That would be heaven!

The green steel riser stem is a Salsa I bought in 1988 or so, for my first mountain bike. I painted it "Shamrock Green" with a spraycan from the auto parts store.
Ties the whole bike together. ;^)

[Philip Williamson]

This is my fantasy, too - dyno hub and fenders back on the green 60, light wheels and expensive tires on an orange 62 or 64!
I almost pulled the trigger on one of the larger QBs flying by recently, but couldn't rationalize it with logic.

[Allingham II, Thomas J]

When it comes to bike acquisition, logic is overrated.

[cyclot...@gmail.com]

I've actually tried to rationalize getting a third Quickbeam. Unsuccessfully so far, but gave it a good shot! 

One townie, one monstercross, one light roadie. 

the perfect trifecta of singlespeed goodness!

[Ryan Fleming]

You can never have too much of a good thing:) I'm insanely jealous...

 

I've always really admired those Quickbeams.. I don't believe I've ever seen a photo of one that I didn't like.but I'll have to limp along with my PX-10. S'OK, it was my first good bike in 1973, and I'm very happy with the single-speed incarnation of version 3.0 built in 1974 But,  indeed, it's nowhere near as pretty as those Quickbeams.

If you wear butchering a 'Beam/'One to make it 650b would you replace canti studs with Paul Racer brazeons or just lower the canti studs?


If you were doing that.

Late to the show as usual, but I agree.

So you've got the coveted Two 'Beam System! 

Good looking setups.

Alas no.  Orange replaced Green when the frame broke.

But maybe someday...

[cyclotourist]

Ouch!

That hurts to see! I imagine there's a story behind the photo?

Some see a broken frame... I see an already-comfy frame just made a little cushier...
