Me, Im not really much for selling off bikes. I tend to keep em around, so I may not be the one to listen to. But if the Bleriot, Romulus, and Hillbone seem too similar to you, cutting down to just one of the three sounds reasonable. I would suggest dragging your feet and thinking long and hard about selling the Quickbeam. If you haven't done so already, you should put a fixed cog on there (with a lock ring) and give that a try. Riding a fixed gear is definitely different and you might like it. In any case if you part with the Quickbeam and later wish you hadn't you may find replacing it with something you like as well difficult.
