Hi All,
In deference to my aging knees, I am selling my favorite bicycle. I haven't posted this on Craigslist yet. Since it is sort of a bike-geek bike I figured I'd post here first. Fee free to forward this message as appropriate.

Rivendell Quickbeam single speed, 58 cm, $800
Basic facts: This bike is in very good condition, with just a few nicks in the paint from being locked up to various U racks. It is a good bike for a rider about 6 feet tall (I'm 5 11 but have long legs). All original except I added a shorter stem (the buyer can have the original stem if desired) and upgraded the cranks, the single chainring, the freewheel, and added a second freewheel, chain tensioners, and a cyclocomputer, all included.
Fun facts: This is a singlspeed bike based on a touring frame, which is more upright than a racing frame. The frame is lugged chro-mo steel and is from the last year that Panasonic made bike frames. It has no Rivendell decals, but does have a lovely Rivendell headbadge. As pictured on the headbadge, is named after a very fast tree.
