[RBW] For sale: 64cm Quickbeam

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Bill,
If it is time to part with it or consolidate the fleet; however if you love the 
bike. But need a boost beyond the single speed. I ran a Copenhagen wheel on my 
68cm and absolutely love it.  Pedal assist just easier acceleration and riding 
with a tailwind whenever desired.  Up to 30 Miles rides with battery to spare 
in ECO.

Can be found Slightly used or NOS on EBay for $700-$1000 no reason to pay 
retail.  

Can’t recommend them enough.  
Had one on my wife’s 53cm 26’ S&S couplered Atlantis which is to small for her 
(hitting the list this week). Needed to get one so I could stay with her on 
rides.  My personal engine was not enough when she had a boost.

[RBW] For sale: 64cm Quickbeam

[Bill Rhea]

This bike is first complete bike I bought from Riv.  It's been ridden for 
lots of enjoyable miles over the years (mostly as a fixed gear commuter) 
but it's not in the rotation these days. This bike needs a rider!

I still really love this bike (!) but I need more gears for my current 
needs, and it's time to clear garage space.  Looking for a good home for 
this Queen of Caltrain (TM)

Photos here 
.

   - Sturmey-Archer S3X 3-speed fixed hub on a Velocity Dyad 36H rim with 
   Wheelsmith spokes
   - 32H Suzue sealed front hub with Araya rim (original)
   - Nitto Noodle bars 46cm, 10 cm NItto stem, Shimano brake levers. 
   Elkhide bar wrap, sewn on.
   - Tektro cantilevers (the wide ones)
   - Sugino cranks, 46T with chainguard
   - 16T cog
   - Berthoud 50mm stainless steel fenders with leather flaps
   - Nitto steel front rack with Riv/Nitto Platrack and Wald basket

Stuff *not* included:

   - seat
   - Nitto rear bag support


*Extra stuff* for this bike included that's not in the photos:

   - Original rear QB wheel with Suzue flip-flop hub
   - White Industries DOS Eno freewheel, 16Tx18T
   - Brand new barcon shifter for S3X, still in bag
   - Tool for removing S3X hub innards (which are one-piece and easy to 
   swap out


*Full disclosure items*:

   - The first QB I bought was an early green one.  That frame broke after 
   a few years, and Riv graciously replaced it with this orange one.  No 
   damage or cracks I know of on this one. Rides great!
   - Yes, there is a B&M dyno tailight on the rear fender, but no dyno hub 
   wheel is included with sale.
   - Note the beusage on one of the downtube decals, that little piece of 
   torn decal still flappin' in the breeze ;-)  This bike has good paint but 
   is not without the nicks and scratches you'd expect on a bike that has 
   gotten regular use.  It has a few bits of reflective tape on it too.
   - The S3X is working more reliably as a 2-speed (med-high) than a 3.  I 
   never got around to installing the new shifter for it, which may remediate 
   this.  I hand built the wheel per the Wheelsmith technique I learned years 
   ago when I worked there. This wheel is plenty straight and tough, so it's 
   worth just changing the innards on the S3X if that's what it ultimately 
   needs for you to get all 3 gears.  Or you can run it as a single speed with 
   the flip flop wheel (included)


Asking $1,150 OBO.


I'm in Napa, CA.  Bay Area potential buyers: I'm willing to drive 1/2 way 
to where you are for delivery.  If it has to be shipped, buyer pays for 
professional packing and shipping.


Thanks for playing!
