Quickbeam Sizing

[Michael Fleischman]

Good Afternoon,
I was curious if anyone could help me with sizing me up for a QUickbeam. My PBH is 85.5 and I inseam is 32. I currently ride a 59cm AHH and it fits me well. Anyone know what size Quickbeam if need?

Jim has the geometry chart for the QB here: http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/pdf/quickbeam_geometry.pdf.

The way I read it, with my PBH of 90, I could go as low as 60 (to push the small end), ideally 62-64 or even 66 if I really felt like pushing it and riding a bike like the Aussie Sheepsheerers of yore. Grin.

With abandon,

Patrick

I am almost the same exact size, and I fit very well on a 58 Simple One. This was the size that the Riv sizing chart recommended, and it worked well. I had it set up with a 7 or 8 stem and Dove Bars. The quick beam sizing should be the same.

I concur with others that 58 would be your first choice.  Some people might go even bigger when they use upright bars.

If you like how the 59cm AHH fits, I think you couldn't go wrong with either a 58 or a 60.

I talked to Mark over at Riv and he said a 58cm is what I need. I am really hoping to fit on the 60 cm QuickBeam that was posted FS last night. Just looking for insight from the board, in addition to what Mark told me.

I've found (YMMV) that Quickbeams tend to run a touch large. So while I normally ride 61cm Rivendell frame perfectly, a 60cm Quickbeam is just perfect and a 62cm QB feels HUGE. That's with an 89PBH. Just a data point to further confuse your decision making process. If the 60 is a good deal, pick it up, and if it doesn't work out, you won't lose much or maybe even trade for a 58 down the line.

Cheers,
David

That's my experience too, had a 56, 84cm PBH, 5'9", fit great.

That's almost exactly my dimesions - my AHH is a 59 and my QB is a 58.

I am 5'9" with a 32 inseam. My 56 QB fit is spot on
