Executive summary: I'm still thinking about buying it because he's giving it away. I have fun with "parting out" projects, and this one would pay for itself.
If I were Jason, I'd gear it down AND cheapen it up. Operating principle #1 is you can always sell used stuff to 'friends' for half retail, and you should always expect to be able to buy stuff from friends for half retail. Operating principle #2 is there are some bike parts that are super expensive that one buys only because they want them. It's bling. This QB has a lot of that expensive bling on it that we can get rid of without detracting from the usefulness of of the bike. I could get into those details if you want... If you'd meet me in Springfield IL this weekend I'll buy it. I'm in Detroit all weekend with nothing to do. Springfield is a 7 hour drive for each of us. If I buy it, I'll part out the bling and end up with a very inexpensive second Quickbeam to go with my 58cm Green one.
