If you want to make it super simple for potential customers to see your ad, and know how much you'd take for the bike, you could also reply to your original FS post with the new price. 

Your Quickbeam brother,

Ah, got it, thanks.

Do you think the price is reasonable?  Just out of curiosity, how is yours set up and what type of riding do you use it for?

I think it’s a reasonable price, which may require the interest of a reasonable person. Seriously, that does seem to be the ballpark Quickbeams play in. Much less and people around here start speculating “what’s wrong with it?”

I don’t know if you cross posted to the BOB list, but I think it’s a bigger list, and more skewed toward that vintage of Rivendell. $1300 sales/purchases can take some time, especially for a ‘niche’ bike. Plus there are a couple other QBs or Simpleones on the market now, creating the perception that there’s no rush to buy.

My Quickbeam is set up for commuting, but in the past I used it for 25-40 mi road rides, Oregon logging roads, and... commuting. It has a silver Paul single-sided silver rear wheel, a SON klassik front, and a matching Paul front wheel I’ve never actually used; surly dingle 17/21 cog and Dura-Ace square taper cranks with 39/44 rings. CX50 brakes, Ultegra gray levers, Nitto WTB dirt drops, Salsa steel stem painted to match the bike. 52mm Zeppein fenders also painted to match the bike, 38mm Vittoria Hypers. VP-001 pedals. Brooks all weather saddle. Original seatpost and headset. I’d have to pull the BB, but I assume Shimano. You know - the usual stuff!

Thanks for the info. I found that I changed the gears only once in the time that I owned it, and not likely to do it again. Just lazy. I have another fixed gear I use around town.

It's pretty rare that I change gears. I did it more when the Quickbeam was my only road bike, and I'd go out along the creekside roads, then climb over the ridges. 

Santa Rosa out to Sweetwater Springs, and down into Guerneville, for instance. shows the climb, not my route: https://www.mapmyride.com/us/guerneville-ca/sweetwater-springs-rd-guerneville-loop-route-126200949
