[RBW] Re: WTB 64cm Quickbeam
Higher BB (less drop) pushes the top tube up a cm or so. Not a big deal, but Rivs already have a pretty high TT, so that extra cm makes it feel kinda' tight. Especially if you put on some big-ish tires. On Oct 11, 10:22 am, clyde canter clyde.can...@gmail.com wrote: I'm curious. Why would the fit larger than other Rivs?

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB 64cm Quickbeam
It's not huge, but enough to make the bike feel bigger. Not worse/better, just different. As I used mine for trail riding a lot, the higher TT was not a plus for me.

Yup. I've straddled a 62, which should be my size. There was no clearance. It might work, but a 60 would feel better.

[RBW] Re: WTB 64cm Quickbeam
I got a 60, based on the tires I intended to (and do) ride. There's not a ton of clearance to bone when I straddle the bike. I have an 85cm saddle height and a big fist of seatpost.

Kelly, There is a beautiful 62 QB for sale on the Minneapolis craigslist for $1000. If it weren't too big for me I'd seriously consider it... that being said posting the link here will get the fish jumping into the boat if you aren't fast enough. It WAS an orange QB but has been blasted with a gorgeous clear coat... check out the flicker link! http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/bik/1173697659.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/35548...@n06/sets/72157616546941274/show/ Please send that QB to a good home.
