Time Capsule 60cm Rivendell Quickbeam For Sale

[cyclotourist]

Hey there RoBs, it's that time. I LOVE this bike, but it's been hanging in the garage doing nothing. I have another 62cm QB, so not like I don't love them. It just needs to be used. Made in Japan by Panasonic... where you gonna' find that nowadays?

$2,000 and I can deliver between San Diego and Santa Cruz with a little patience! Really don't want to have to box it, but if you want it shipped, my local shop can take care of it for you at your expense.

Geo if you're wondering, but I imagine if you're reading this, you know what you're looking for: http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/pdf/quickbeam_geometry.pdf

Phil Wood flip flop hubs with White Ind double freewheel and Mavic rims (Reflex front, MA3 rear, pretty much the same) and Sackville leather hub wipers. Hand built and perfect condition. Clement 40mm tires with lots of life. Great tires BTW!

Has a Surly Tuggnut tensioner to keep everything aligned nicely

Sugino double crankset with chainguard (brilliant feature, Grant!)

Nitto Technomic stem with Nitto Dream Bars, Shimano levers, generic CX interrupters, and Velox plugs. 

Tape is in okay condition, and nicely twined and shellacked. 

Grip King pedals with spikes to keep your shins looking rugged and manly.

Paul Neo-Retro brakes on both ends. I love these!

Brooks Swift Ti saddle (vintage pre-sale Brooks). PERFECTLY broken in!

Dura Ace seatpost

Nitto brazed water bottle cage (ooh-la-la!)

Lots of pics here in the flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/albums/72177720330127603/ 

I used portrait mode to try to isolate the subject, if you think something needs to be clarified, HMU!

Paint is used. Nothing egregious, but enough beausage to let you know the bike was appreciated. 

Heaviest wear is on the top tube where brake cable abraded the paint over the years. 

Priced at $2k based on what Roadunos are going for, and to be perfectly honest, this is a nicer build with all the bling as well as hipster panache. 

As mentioned, I can deliver/meet in SoCal, and will be traveling up to Santa Cruz over Thanksgiving so could deliver up there, all at no cost. 

I really hate to do this, but it needs to go. I'm not riding it and I need the cash. FWIW I also have a Santa Cruz Tallboy I'll be listing FS over on Pinkbike, but if anyone is interested in it, same $2k price, and I'll make a deal if you want both! Happy to talk privately about that as well.

..... sheeesh.... 

the last time I saw a 'my-size' QM for sale, I was waiting on delivery of my RoadUno.

and NOW, I just pulled the trigger on a Sam Hillborne, and you have to offer up a QB in my size. Where were you about 2 weeks ago!?

(heavy sign....)  On the other hand, my repaired powder coated SteamRoller should be back in my hands tomorrow. If I thought I could sell it complete for even half of your QB, I'd be figuring out shipping with you. 

Hope you find a new, suitable home for it!
